International Homeopathy Day, which is celebrated annually on April 10th, honors the memory of Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy who founded homoeopathy. The day also challenges understanding and strategies that will further develop homeopathy

Greek terms homeo, which means similar, and pathos, which denotes suffering or illness, are the origin of the term "homoeopathy." According to this complementary style of therapy, "like cures like." In other words, the substances that cause the illness's symptoms also treat the condition. Red onions, for instance, are known to cause eye irritation. Red onion is therefore a component of homoeopathic allergy treatments.

According to homoeopathy, substances that cause symptoms also start the body's natural healing process. These ingredients can be made of synthetic, mineral, animal, or plant materials. Usually, the substances are rather dilute. Western medicine often disregards the use of homoeopathy. Nonetheless, there are documented instances where people's illnesses were cured by using homoeopathic treatments.

Homeopathy is risk-free. Homeopathic medicines, in contrast to other medications, are non-toxic, nontoxic, and have no negative side effects. Homeopathic remedies can frequently be used safely by patients who are unable to take regular prescription drugs because of negative effects. Homeopathic medications are made from trace amounts of natural ingredients like herbs, minerals, and animal products. Based on European Union law and European Pharmacopoeia regulations, the national medical authorities guarantee the products' quality and safety. Without worrying about dosage, they are safe for youngsters, infants, and pregnant women.

Why is World Homeopathy Day celebrated?:- World Homoeopathy Day is celebrated not only to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr Hahnemann but also to understand the challenges and future strategies of taking homoeopathy forward. Its purpose is to create awareness about this different system of medicine and to easily improve the success rate of access to all whose access. World Homeopathy Day strives to bring the community together to establish, strengthen and modernize the system of medicine so that more and more people can benefit from it.

With homoeopathy, many paediatric illnesses can be treated swiftly and efficiently without any negative side effects. Homeopathic pills don't interfere with digestion or weaken the body's resistance, unlike antibiotics and other similar medications. Even when consumed for a prolonged period of time, they neither produce allergies nor harm. There isn't any toxicity, reliance, addiction, or withdrawal. Without having any negative bodily effects, millions of people utilise it to benefit themselves, their families, and their pets.

India Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his video conference during coronacrisis had said that the AYUSH sector has a long tradition of keeping the nation in the pink of health and its importance has increased manifold in the continual efforts to tackle COVID-19. The Government has set up the Department of AYUSH – which stands for Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy – to utilize and promote these therapies in the field of healthcare. 

To sum up, Traditional medicine has some features that the allopathic class does not have. Similarly, Allopathy also has its own features that the traditional does not have. Medical Experts believe that in the event of an outbreak of infectious or other serious diseases in the country, all these therapies will work together to tackle the disease effectively in prevention and treatment of cases. It is in this light that the Prime Minister said that traditional therapies could suggest better ways to combat the virus.
