Homeopathy is an alternative healing method based on the ideas of the German doctor Samuel Hahnemann. He developed her in the late 18th and early 19th century in response to conventional medicine at the time, which he considered harmful and ineffective. Homeopathy is based on two basic principles: the principle of similarity and the potentiation principle.

The principle of similarity states that an illness should be treated with a remedy that causes similar symptoms in a healthy person. The potentiation principle states that the effect of a means of dilution and shaken or verify is reinforced. Homeopathy mostly uses vegetable, animal or mineral substances, which can be detectable in very small quantities or no longer in the end product.

Homeopathy has a long and eventful history that was shaped by different cultural, philosophical, scientific, ethical and political influences. Some aspects of it are:

history

Homeopathy was justified by Hahnemann in Germany and quickly spread to Europe and other parts of the world. She learned both consent and resistance from various medical authorities, institutions and movements. She experienced several phases of the upswing and decline, depending on how she adapted to the social changes or not. Today, homeopathy is recognized as a complementary or alternative medicine in many countries and is used by millions of people.

philosophy

Homeopathy is based on a vitalistic worldview that assumes that there is a vitality that (link removed). Disease is understood as a disturbance of this vitality caused by external or inner influences. Homeopathy tries to correct this disorder by administering a remedy that corresponds to the patient's individual constitution and symptoms. In contrast to a mechanistic or materialistic point of view, homeopathy is considered a accumulation of parts that are determined by physical or chemical laws.

science

Homeopathy is a controversial method from a scientific point of view. There is no generally accepted explanation for your mode of action, which is compatible with the current state of the natural sciences. Most clinical studies have provided no convincing evidence of a specific effectiveness of homeopathy beyond the placebo effect. Homeopathy is therefore rejected by many scientists and doctors as pseudo -scientific or ineffective. However, the supporters of homeopathy argue that their method is subject to a different kind of scientific nature based on experience, observation and individualization. They also call for a pluralistic and integrative view of medicine that takes into account and respected different approaches.

ethics

Homeopathy raises various ethical questions that affect both patients and therapists. Some of these questions are: Is it ethically justifiable to apply or recommend a method, the effectiveness of which is not scientifically proven? Is it ethically justifiable to use or support a method that could possibly have harmful consequences for the health or life of the patients? Is it ethically justifiable to practice or promote a method that may be contradicted to the applicable laws or regulations? Is it ethically justifiable to teach or learn a method that may be in conflict with the scientific or pedagogical standards? These questions require careful consideration of the values, interests and rights of everyone involved.
