What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathic products are mainly produced from natural ingredients such as plants and minerals, making them gentle enough for adults and children alike.
Over the counter remedies are most commonly labelled as either 6C or 30C. These descriptions indicate how diluted the active ingredient is; for example, 6C has undergone six steps in a series of dilutions. Each step involves adding 1 part of the active ingredient to 99 parts of water or alcohol, meaning that 30C is more diluted than 6C.
The History of Homeopathy
The common belief in homeopathy is that the remedy becomes more potent the more it is diluted. These observations have been recorded since the 18 th century, but homeopathy began its journey long before this.
The idea dates back to Hippocrates between 460-377 BC. However, it wasn't until the 18th century that German physician Samuel Hahnemann devised the basis of homeopathy that we know today.
