Homoeopathy is an alternative medicine that dates back as long as 200 years. With its origin in India, it claims to stimulate the power of healing in the wake of diseases through the administration of substances that mimic the symptoms of those health conditions in healthy individuals. It is an integral part of the alternative medicine called AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy). The Ministry of Ayush in India recognises Homeopathy as an effective method of medical treatment.
On World Homeopathy Day (10th April), The Channel 46 has collaborated with Dr S. P. Banerjee, Homeopathy Expert, Kolkata, to offer advice on the advantages of Homeopathic treatment, and medications that are prescribed for various medical symptoms expected, relief post-treatment, and side effects.

How Homeopathy Approaches Health
The basic theory of Homeopathy is based on “similia similibus curantur”. This means that one selected remedy can help the patient come back to her normal physiological health from her pathological condition. One medicine that has the power to develop the pathological symptoms of a medical condition in an individual can also cure a patient with similar pathological symptoms.
