Homeopathy, a system of medicine founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in 1796 operates on the principle of “Like cures Like” (similia similibus curentur). This simply means that the drugs that cause disease symptoms in healthy individuals can, in diluted forms, treat similar symptoms in sick individuals. 

Homeopathic science believes that disease is caused due to an imbalance between the mind and body. The medicines help to restore the balance by acting on the  immunity of an individual hence curing the disease from the roots
