Homeopathy was founded in the late 18th century by German physician Samuel Hahnemann. Hahnemann believed that the body had the power to heal itself, and that natural substances could stimulate this healing process. He began testing various substances on himself and others, noting their effects and developing a system of dilution and potentization to make them more effective. This led to the development of the principle of 'like cures like' which states that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. Homeopathy quickly gained popularity in Europe and spread to other parts of the world, including India. In India, homeopathy was introduced by Dr. John Martin Honigberger, who treated Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab with homeopathic medicines in the 1830s. The practice gained further popularity in India due to its effectiveness in treating epidemics such as cholera and the Spanish flu. Today, homeopathy is widely practiced around the world and continues to evolve as new research is conducted.
