Homeopathy is a natural type of medication used to cure both acute and chronic illnesses for over 200 million individuals worldwide. It’s based on the ‘like cures like’ theory. In other words, a drug taken in small doses, if taken in large amounts, will relieve the same effects it induces. A patient suffering from hayfever, for example, can benefit from the Allium Cepa (onion) homoeopathic remedy because it causes similar symptoms such as teary eyes or blocked nose.
