Meet The Founder

Dr. Samuel Hahnemann

German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1777-1843) developed Homeopathy, which is a scientific method of medicine based upon several eternal laws of nature. The principles of Homeopathy were known to the ancient physicians, Hippocrates (400 B.C.) and Paracelsus (1493). Dr. Samuel Christian Friedrich Hahnemann was a German (Saxon) born physician, and a pharmacist who founded homeopathy. Hahnemann is considered the Father of Homeopathic Medicine. He received his Medical Degree from Erlangen University in 1779. After much disdain with what Hahnemann termed the "barbaric practices of allopathic medicine" he began much work to evolve the "kinder and gentler approach to healing" hence, Homeopathy. Hahnemann's works such as his Organon of Medical Art (1810), and Materia Medica Pura are used extensively today by Dr. and Maria Fihn, RN, APH.
A gentle, deeply healing system of medicine founded by the visionary genius, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in the early 19th century, Homeopathy uses healing substances so dilute that they do not cause side effects like conventional pharmaceuticals, which can suppress symptoms that can later reoccur (often on a deeper level). Homeopathy cures from the inside out. It removes the underlying emotional or mental stress of chronic disease first, then moves the illness out of the body. Homeopathy does not cause side effects and even enhances the quality of life as it heals.

Founded on unfailing scientific laws, homeopathy has stood the test of time for nearly 200 years. It is based on the same paradigm as acupuncture—that of chi or vital energy. Homeopathy is energy medicine, working with the body's own healing energy to strengthen it, using remedies that are safe, non-toxic and totally individualized to the patient for both acute and chronic illnesses.

Homeopathy uniquely treats the Whole Person: Emotional, Mental, Spiritual as well as Physical. The well chosen homeopathic remedy (or simillimum) brings about a profound sense of well being before it even begins to cure the symptoms. And the search for the correct remedy for a chronic disease begins with a detailed inquiry by a Certified Homeopath into the emotional or mental trauma that might have triggered it. Note: the chronic disease begins in utero.

While conventional or allopathic medicine (traditional western medicine) continues in a devastating financial crisis, with nearly 50 million Americans lacking health insurance, Homeopathy can offer health care which is both effective and extremely economical. The homeopathic approach is sensible, economical, and effective. A person's individual healing energy affects the cure. It does not create resistance but uses extremely small doses of natural substances to stimulate the body's innate healing powers. Homeopathic remedies are non-toxic and not addictive. By treating benign acute incidents or illnesses, patients can save thousands of dollars and contribute greatly to their own well being and healing. The ultimate goal of Homeopathy is to help you live to your fullest capacity, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, as well as physically.
