Samuel Christian Frederic Hahnemann, the father of Homeopathy was born in 1755, at Meissen, Saxony in Germany. He established the fundamental principles of the science he named 'Homeopathy', from the Greek words for similar ('homeo'), and suffering ('pathos'). He is also considered the Father of Experimental Pharmacology because he was the first physician to prepare medicines in a specialized way; proving them on healthy human beings, to determine how the medicines acted to cure diseases. Dr. Hahnemann embraced the law of cure known as "Similia Similibus Curentur", or "Like Cures Like". Apart from the Law of Similar, Homeopathy has several other principles on which this therapeutic science is based.
