- Homeopathy was invented by Samuel Hahnemann, a German doctor who was dissatisfied with the heroic bleeding and purging of orthodox medicine. He believed diseases could be cured by medicines which produce in healthy persons symptoms similar to those of the disease. His system was promoted in America by Constantin Hering, a disciple who emigrated to Pennsylvania around 1830.
