a. What is homeopathy and how is it different than other modes of treatments?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine found in Germany in 1796 and currently in practice in over 100 countries, including all states in the United States, all of Europe, Australia, most Asian countries, the Middle and far-East, and Africa. It is different from conventional medicine (also called allopathy) in several ways. Homeopathy believes in treating the patient as a whole, in totality, rather than treating the disease in parts. Also, homeopathic medicines are in the potentized form, which is like nano-particles, which makes the recovery of the disease effective yet safe.
