World Homeopathy Day is celebrated every year on April 10 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy. The day aims to raise awareness about homeopathy’s principles and benefits and its role in holistic and personalized healthcare.
The word homeopathy has its roots in the Greek words “homeo” (meaning similar) and “pathos” (meaning suffering). This system of medicine is based on the principle of “like cures like.” [1] German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann founded this alternative medicine system in the late 18th century. He emphasized treatments that help improve health by activating the body’s natural healing abilities. [2]
