World Homeopathy Day
April 10 · Level 2 · #1919 of 2238
World Homeopathy Day falls on the birthday of Samuel Hahnemann, the German physician who developed homeopathy in the late 18th century. Followers of the method use the date to talk about its history and ideas.
How it is celebrated: homeopathic societies hold conferences, lectures and open days, while practitioners and patients swap stories and look back at Hahnemann and his book, the Organon of the Medical Art.
Hahnemann was born on 10 April 1755 in Meissen, a Saxon town best known for its porcelain.
