Introduction to Homeopathy
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann developed homeopathy approximately 200 years ago. It is based on the theory of similars and the use of infinitesimal doses. The idea is that a substance that can cause certain symptoms will also cure those symptoms, when administered in an extremely diluted form.
CHPA has, since 1990, advocated the development of a comprehensive regulatory framework for HMs that would take into account the regulatory precedents for HMs established in other countries such as European Union member states and the USA. These regulatory precedents included the formal recognition of methods of manufacture of HMs (homeopathic pharmacy), indications for use, product formulations and potencies contained in internationally recognized pharmacopoeias.
