HOMOEOPATHIC SYSTEM OF MEDICINE An Introduction The homoeopathic system of medicine is one of the finest systems of cure available to mankind. It achieves in totality the ideal laid down by its originator, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann: “The highest ideal of cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable, and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles.” The harmlessness of the homoeopathic system cannot be over- emphasized in the twentieth century when antibiotics, cortisones and scores of other wonder drugs, on account of indiscriminate use cause more problems than they cure.

He was agitated because drugs were used on patients without anyone understanding their true effect on the human mind and body. He found the current methods of bloodletting of patients to cure them, of treatment of mental patients, of treatment of chronic diseases unacceptable and irrational. “He recognized the insufficiency of medical science and of the therapeutic methods of those days, which he denounced with undaunted energy and eloquence of speech like the old prophets”, writes Dr. Richard Haehl, a biographer of Dr. Hahnemann. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann was a sincere seeker of truth. He was not ready to believe in the existent theorie
