Paper Summary:

A discussion of the work of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, founder of holistic medication and how this has developed into a strong alternative for over-the-counter medicines which exist today. It discusses different forms of holistic medicines and the controversy that surrounds some of them. Included is also a case study and an examination of what the future holds.

From the Paper:

"While there are many over-the-counter (OTC) medicines that work to treat the common cold, premenstrual syndrome, insomnia and many other illnesses, most conventional medications simply mask symptoms and may inhibit the body's natural ability to heal itself, according to Dworkin (1999). However, herbs and vitamins have a tendency to be gentler on the body and often enhance the body's natural recovery process. For this reason, many people are swapping their OTC medicines for holistic medicines."
