History of Homeopathy

It is the outcome of the medical profession. “Hahnemann the great” who was well-known physician among his colleagues for his services to medicine, chemistry and pharmacology, had an astonishing talent for ancient and contemporary languages. He had all the medical wisdom of past times, after mature thought and at a mature age. He as the result of years difficult experiments, investigation and reflection succeeded to expose the profession for which he believes that he had discovered a therapeutic rule which will enable his followers to find the remedies for diseases with greater certainty and accuracy than can be achieved by any of the other methods hitherto taught.

Homoeopathy had its origin in Germany. Hahnemann’s active life was carried on in Germany, and his works were written in German or in Latin, which in his early days was the language often employed by medical and scientific authors.

Dr. Ameke has performed his self-imposed task and provided for the English readers an opportunity of seeing Homoeopathy. He highlighted the investigations of Hahnemann that led to his discovery of the therapeutic rule which he first expressed as the general principle of medical practice.

He clearly shows that Hahnemann was as far in advance of his chemical contemporaries in their special science, as he afterwards went beyond all his medical contemporaries in their special art. He also brings out the fact that Hahnemann, before his discovery of the homoeopathic rule, had acquired a great reputation for his improvements in the practice of medicine, in pharmacology, and especially in hygiene, a branch of medicine which he may almost be said to have created.
We see in this history the high esteem in which he was held by his contemporaries, and especially by the Nestor of German physic, Hufeland, who never lost his respect for Hahnemann's genius and services to medicine even when he differed from him in opinion.
Opportunities in hospitals.

Homoeopathic treatment facility is not available in hospitals all over the world. We think that the right way would be to afford this opportunities in hospitals to test its value side by side with traditional methods, to put discussion in societies and magazines, for making careful experiments with the remedies and the mode of their employment recommended by its members. It should be given the equal professional status according to the other traditional methods.
My share in the work is that I am doing my work just according to the homoeopathic rules introduced by its founder.
