Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine is a forum for
sharing information concerning the practical use of alternative
therapies in preventing and treating disease, healing illness,
and promoting health. 
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine is a peer-reviewed
healthcare journal that has been indexed in the National Library
of Medicine since 1996.
The physician had observed that Peruvian or China bark was
prescribed to combat malaria but also caused malaria-like
symptoms in healthy people.
Hahnemann then tried out several other plant, animal and
mineral substances on volunteers and himself and kept a diary
of the symptoms and developed numerous medicines in this way.
"Hahnemann knew 140 medicines. Today there are between
3,000 and 4,000," says Karl-Wilhelm Steuernagel, chairman
of the German Association of Homeopathic Doctors (DZVhae)
in Bonn.
In his main work "Organon", published in 1810,
Hahnemann explained holistic medicine and the cause of illness,
which he saw as a dysfunction of the life force in the body.
