Samuel Hahnemann was a German physician who created and introduced
homeopathy, a system of alternative medicine which claims that a
substance which causes diseases in some individuals can cure it in
others. Writing in the early 19th century, Hahnemann set out the
principles of homoeopathic medicine in a total of 297 aphorisms.
Each of these discussed the various attributes of healing that
underpin homeopathy as a method of curing. The notion of 'miasms'
as the origin and cause of all chronic disease, and how such can be
alleviated, is elaborated upon by the author. Today, homeopathy has
been widely discredited, with its methodology and teachings
contrasted with established discoveries in biology and chemistry.
Numerous studies of homeopathy's efficacy have shown that the
results of treatment are no better than placebo. In the 19th
century however, its use was popular with Hahnemann himself
contrasting his methods by terming conventional medicine
'allopathic'.
