Homeopathy is a distinct, comprehensive and deep healing system originally developed by Samuel Hahnemann about 200 years ago. It is based on the principle of similars (“like cures like”), which means that a substance that can cause certain symptoms in a healthy body can cure similar symptoms in an unhealthy one.

In addition, homeopathy for dogs...
