❝ Father of homeopathy: Homeopathy was developed in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, a respected doctor in Germany. Hahnemann believed that "like cures like" and that minute concentrations of a particular toxin could cure the very same symptoms it would cause in larger doses. Think poison ivy to treat rashes.
Mahendra Lal Sircar (Father of homeopathy in India): Homeopathy was introduced in India the early 19th century. It flourished in Bengal at first, and then spread all over India. In the beginning, the system was extensively practised by amateurs in the civil and military services and others. Mahendra Lal Sircar was the first Indian who became a homeopathic physician.
In the last twenty years, many developments have happened in the area of scientific homeopathy. Many molecular biologists, chemists, physicists, and pharmacologists have researched, and have arrived at conclusions that homeopathic medicine is a form of a nano-pharmacological system having effects that are documented in in-vitro models, animal models as well as in placebo-controlled human trials. ❞
