World Homeopathy Day is observed on April 10 every year on the birth anniversary of Dr Samuel Hahnemann. The day is dedicated to paying tribute to homeopathy's contributions to the world and to promote its significance globally.
What is World Homeopathy Day?
This day is dedicated to honouring Dr Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician who is known as the founder of homeopathy. Various organisations, institutions and governmental bodies celebrate this day by organising events and campaigns. Homeopathy is an ancient form of medicine that activates the healing response and strengthens the body's functions so that it can heal itself.
Our body has the ability to fight foreign bacteria and prevent infection, but this system only works if the body has strong good bacteria. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyle, which includes poor diet and pollution, is causing a decrease in the good bacteria and making us susceptible to illnesses.
In the 21st century, the usage of allopathic medicine has increased and homeopathy has decreased. This day aims to raise awareness about the benefits of Homeopathy and to reduce the usage of chemical-based drugs.

About Dr Samuel Hahnemann
Dr Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, was born in Germany on April 10, 1755. He believed that homeopathic medicine was a better way to cure diseases than chemical-based medicines. His research was mainly focused on malaria, smallpox, and other related conditions. Dr. Samuel found that even a small dose of homeopathic medicine could cure the disease effectively.
