Did you know that homeopathy was discovered around 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann? He discovered that giving a sick person a substance that could cause the symptoms they were experiencing, could cure those symptoms if given in a potentised form. Some of the substances that are used in homeopathy can be toxic in their crude material form, for example Arsenic which is a big homeopathic remedy. Hahnemann discovered that by giving Arsenic in potency to a patient suffering from an upset stomach, that it would cure their symptoms and get them well again.
