Homeopathy. This natural remedy was first purported in the 18th century by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. The basis of its healing practices is in the principle that the mind, body, and emotions are connected in bringing well-being to the body. When they lose their ability to coordinate, diseases ensue. Homeopathic remedies come from otherwise toxic substances which when highly diluted bring their healing properties. Aesculus hippocastanum is used to treat the inflammation and itching, aloe is best for decreasing excessive swelling, and arnica montana is specifically prescribed for hemorrhoids caused by pregnancy.
