Homeopathy[edit | edit source]

Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine that was developed in the late 18th century. It is based on the concept of "like cures like", which means that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. Homeopathy also involves the use of highly diluted substances, which are believed to retain a "memory" of the substance that has been diluted.

Controversies[edit | edit source]

Despite its long history, the National Homeopathic Hospital has been the subject of controversy. Critics argue that homeopathy lacks scientific evidence and that treatments offered by the hospital are ineffective. However, the hospital maintains that homeopathy is a valid form of medicine and that many patients have benefited from its treatments.
