Where does Homeopathy come from?
Homeopathy has been around for 200 years. It was developed by a German Doctor, Samuel Hahnemann.
A man ahead of his time, he was appalled by the medical practices of
the day, such as blood letting and the use of mercury. He was one of the
first to advocate the benefits of good diet & hygiene.

2,000 alternative remedies available, made from plants, minerals &
other natural sources.
