Early Medical Pursuits
A Disillusionment with Conventional Medicine
In his formative years, Hahnemann’s experiences with the harsh methods of conventional medicine ignited his desire for a gentler, more natural approach to healing.
The Discovery of “Like Cures Like”
A Revolutionary Observation
During self-experimentation, Hahnemann observed that substances producing symptoms in a healthy body could, in diluted form, stimulate healing in the sick. This insight became the core principle of homeopathy.
