World Homeopathy Day History
World Homeopathy Day began with the birth of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homoeopathy. He was born on April 10, 1755. Hahnemann’s ideas of using highly diluted substances to stimulate the body’s healing response laid the foundation for this alternative medicine system.
The day itself was not established until later. It started in India, a country with a long history of homoeopathy, in 1997. Dr. RK Manchanda, a famous Indian homoeopath, envisioned this day to celebrate the potential of homoeopathy and raise awareness about it. This concept resonated with homoeopaths around the world, leading to the creation of the World Homeopathic Days Organizing Committee in 2002. This international body coordinates and promotes the celebration of World Homeopathy Day worldwide.
