This book explores the basis and development of homeopathic medicine, identified by the World Health Organization as Earth's second most popular system of medicine. Homeopathy is discussed in the context of modern healthcare, and the similarities and differences with conventional medicine are described.

There are two main classes of medicinal preparations - herbal and pharmaceutical. Pharmaceutical drugs are either synthesized or refined substances.

Certain medical conditions require prescription drugs. However, there is a plethora of health conditions and symptoms that nature has been handling for centuries.
