Homeopathy is a system of healthcare developed over two hundred years ago by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann. Since its development, it has been practiced worldwide and continues to be used by people seeking a more individualized approach to health and wellbeing.

Rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or disease name, homeopathy considers how symptoms appear in a particular person. Physical concerns are viewed alongside emotional wellbeing, personal history, and the way symptoms have developed over time. This allows care to be shaped around the individual, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars, which states that a substance capable of producing specific symptoms in a healthy person may, when prepared in highly diluted form, be used to address those same symptoms in someone who is unwell. Remedy selection is guided by careful observation of patterns, responses, and sensitivities rather than by diagnosis alone.

Homeopathic remedies are prepared through a regulated process of dilution and succession, resulting in medicines that are gentle and highly individualized in their use. In the United States, homeopathic remedies have been regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1938. They are included in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.

Homeopathy may be explored by people seeking care for a wide range of concerns, including acute conditions, long-standing or chronic issues, and recurring patterns of imbalance. Because care is guided by how symptoms present in the individual — physically and emotionally — it may be considered in a variety of situations, guided by careful observation rather than diagnostic labels.
