"Hahnemannian" refers to the principles and practices of homeopathy as developed by Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician in the late 18th century. This approach emphasizes the idea that "like cures like," meaning that substances that cause symptoms in healthy individuals can be used in diluted forms to treat similar symptoms in sick individuals. Hahnemann's methods involve highly diluted remedies, often prepared through a process called potentization, which includes shaking and diluting substances. Hahnemannian homeopathy focuses on treating the whole person rather than just specific symptoms, aiming to restore balance and promote overall health.
