Origins of Homeopathy

All this modern material ties in very neatly with the main concerns that Hahnemann immersed himself in two centuries ago.

What Hahnemann was primarily appalled and disgusted by and which he most vigorously and passionately opposed were strong doses of drugs, bloodletting and compound drug mixtures conceived and employed along the Galenic lines of contraries.

These were the biggest objections he made against the medicine of his day.

He was implacably opposed to them because he could see from first-hand daily experience that they were dismally ineffective measures to be employed against sickness, and they were also harmful and damaging to patients as well; they caused more suffering.

Thus, he stood alone in having the courage and intellectual honesty to abandon in disgust such a medical practice, and to commit himself instead to a search for more gentle, benign and effective therapeutic measures. Who could possibly stand up and condemn him for doing that?

-Peter Morrell (Medical Historian, Ex. Hon Research Associate, History of Medicine, Staffordshire University)

Homeopathic Rhus Tox ointment

Rhus toxicodenron, commonly known as the Poison Ivy grows in thickets and low grounds in North America, flowering in June. It was introduced into England as a plant in 1640. In 1798 Dufresnoy of Valenciennes first used it as a medicine. It was brought to his notice by the cure of a young man of an herpetic eruption of six years’ duration, through his being accidentally poisoned with the plant. Dufresnoy used it successfully in eruptive diseases, paralysis, rheumatism, and amaurosis. More than 200 years later, today it is very well known to be very useful specially in the wet weather.
