Homeopathy

Where Did it Originate

Over time, volumes of information developed and expanded Dr. Hahnemann's provings and today, the continually updated material medica is still used as a key soure of Homeopathic remedies.

Hans Burch Gram (1787-1840), a Boston-born doctor, studied Homeopathy in Europe and is widely credited for introducing Homeopathy into the United States in 1825. European immigrants trained in Homeopathy also made the treatment more widespread in America. In 1835, the first Homeopathic medical college was established in Allentown, PA. By the early 20th century, an increasing number of medical practitioners became Homeopaths, and there were 20 Homeopathic medical colleges and more than 100 Homeopathic hospitals throughout the United States. Two key U. S. Homeopaths, Dr. Constantine Hering and Dr. James Tyler Kent later outlined an understanding of how illnesses are cured in Homeopathy and established a clear framework based on a more systemized approach.
