When is World Homeopathy Day

The World Homeopathy Day is celebrated each year on April 10 to pay tribute to homoeopathy and its contribution to the world of medicine. The day is observed on the occasion of the birth anniversary of German physician Dr Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homoeopathy.
 
Born in Paris on April 10, 1755, Hahnemann was an acclaimed scientist, great scholar, and linguist. He discovered the way to heal through the use of homeopathy. He died on July 2, 1843.
What is Homoeopathy and how does it work?
 
Homoeopathy is one of the alternative disciplines of medicine that generally works by triggering the healing responses of the patient’s own body. It believes that any sickness can be cured by inducing symptoms similar to it through doses of natural ingredients.
 
Today, a number of people depend on homoeopathic treatment around the world.
 
Why is World Homeopathy Day celebrated?
 
World Homeopathy Day is celebrated to understand the challenges and future strategies to develop homoeopathy. The day aims to spread awareness about homoeopathy as a form of medicine and work towards improving its success rate.
 
Homoeopathy in India: Theme and importance
 
Homeopathy is one of the popular medical systems in India. The country is one of the biggest homoeopathic drug manufacturers and traders globally. In India, homoeopathy is as popular as Ayurveda, both of which fall under the purview of the AYUSH ministry.
 
The theme of World Homoeopathy Day, 2020, was enhancing the scope of Homoeopathy in public health.
