ABSTRACT

Every science revolves around approaches, experiments and various theories. Medical science is no exception of that there are other systems which are referred as the contemporary system of medicine or alternative system of medicine such as Homoeopathy, Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Unani. As everything which is based on some principles like that Homoeopathy principles are based on some facts, theories or experiments. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) gave fundamental principles of homoeopathy on which the Homoeopathic system is based. This was established 250 years ago which is far from the modern concept and was not accepted by the medical fraternity. Dr.Hahnemann faced lot of criticism during his life time. Here these principles when correlated with studies done by many researchers and they statically proved its efficacy. Homoeopathy is the only system of medicine which proves its remedies on apparently healthy human beings. It is based on the law Similia Similibus Curentur and follows the Eight fundamentals principles. Homoeopathy is only accepted by the public due to its mildness and cost effectiveness. The more controversial theory of homoeopathy is the drug dynamisation which includes the process of succussion and dilution which could not be proved scientifically till date. Homoeopaths are talking about the high dilution or highly diluted medicines which they explained by the nanoparticles theories and explained the medicines are far beyond the avogadro‟s number i.e 6.022.10-23. In this study we are trying to explain the fundamental principles of Homoeopathy by the researches based on these principles and to explain the scientific basis of homoeopathy
