Homeopathy is one of the most popular and powerful systems of medicine that is able to restore the state of health and harmony by stimulating the body’s own healing power. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), homeopathy is the world’s second leading system of medicine for primary health care.
Homeopathic medicine was introduced and developed by a German physician, pharmacist and chemist Samuel Hahneman (1755-1843). He is known as the father of experimental pharmacology because he was the first physician that scientifically examined various medical substances on healthy individuals to prove their medicinal effects. Before Hahnemann, medicines were given on speculative indications, without any experimental verification.

Due to its great success in treatment of many epidemic disease as well as acute and chronic conditions, homeopathic medicine became well-known in Europe and then in North America soon after Hahnemann in early 1900’s. At that time,
Homeopathy has a very holistic approach toward health and treats a patient as a whole in physical, mental and spiritual levels. From the homeopathic point of view, When a person becomes ill, it is the whole that is sick: body, mind, spirit. symptoms are considered as a part of defence and adaptation mechanisms of the body to overcome any toxic exposure, infection or stress. Symptoms are only manifestation of the illness not the origin of it. Therefore, treating symptoms without dealing with underlying cause usually creates more complicated chronic conditions. Homeopathic medicines activate and stimulate body’s own healing capacity to overcome the disease instead of suppressing or controlling the symptoms. As a result, after successful homeopathic treatments not only symptoms of the disease disappear but the patient experiences a higher level of well-being and health.

Homeopathy is able to correct the core imbalance that lies under many health issues and will restore the state of health and harmony by permanently eliminating the illness. Therefore, it is effective in treating any kind of health issue regardless of whether the origin is physical, mental or emotional. A well-chosen homeopathic medicine can produce a dramatic improvement in acute conditions such as viral infections or physical injuries as well as chronic conditions such as anxiety, depression, allergies, arthritis, auto immune diseases, hormonal disturbances. Moreover, homeopathic constitutional treatments can help individuals to develop a stronger immune system. Finally, since homeopathic treatments can be effective in emotional and spiritual levels, they will help the individual to achieve a higher level of self-awareness and spiritual growth.

Naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that the human body has an inherent ability to heal itself in an organized and intelligent way. This principle forms the basis of naturopathic medicine as a comprehensive approach to healthcare, which blends modern scientific research with natural treatments to support and stimulate the body's innate healing processes. Naturopathic doctors focus on identifying and eliminating barriers to this inherent healing capacity.

Naturopathic treatments aim at addressing the root causes of disease or illness, instead of only suppressing symptoms. Naturopathic doctors follow a holistic approach, and understand that each person, and their path to healing is unique. Most importantly, they empower their patients with tools and knowledge for sustained health.

Naturopathic doctors are committed to collaboration with other healthcare professionals to ensure an integrated approach to patient care, and to achieve optimal health outcomes.

As a final point, naturopathic medicine acknowledges the interconnectedness of all elements of nature at the centre of its philosophy ; therefore, naturopathic doctors are dedicated to preserving the health of their patients, as well as the planet.
