Homeopathy is founded on the 'Law of Similars', first expressed by Hahnemann in the exhortation similia similibus curentur or 'let likes cure likes'.

The law of similars is based on Hahnemann's conclusion that a given constellation of symptoms elicited by a given homeopathic remedy in a group of healthy individuals will cure an ill individual exhibiting a similar constellation of symptoms.

Symptom patterns associated with various remedies are determined by 'provings', in which healthy volunteers are given remedies in homeopathic form, and the physical, mental and spiritual symptoms they develop are recorded and compiled by

observers. Homeopathic practitioners rely on two types of reference in prescribing.

The Homeopathic Materia Medicae are organized by remedy, and describe symptom patterns associated with individual remedies. The Homeopathic repertory are organized by symptom, and list individual remedies associated with various symptoms.

The Regulation of Homeopathy

In the UK, the Department of Health is expected to create a statutory register of practitioners within about three years. In order to use the title “practitioner of Homeopathy”, therapists will have to be on the register to practice legally within the UK.
