Hahnemann, who originally was a doctor had stopped practicing medicine as he
felt he had done more harm than good to his patients. His was looking for a
form of therapy that would cure his patients long term without side effects. He
then throughout the years developed Homeopathy into what it is today realizing
that all levels of a human being, mentally, emotionally, physically and
spiritually had to be addressed in order to really cure or heal someone
bringing from a state of dis-ease into a state of balance and harmony .
