The first World Homeopathy Day was celebrated on 10 April 2006, and since then, it has been observed every year to raise awareness about the benefits of homeopathy and its potential to treat a wide range of illnesses. Homeopathy is based on the principle of "like cures like," which means that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person.
On this day, various events and seminars are organized worldwide to educate people about homeopathy and its benefits. The theme for World Homeopathy Day 2021 was "Homeopathy: Roadmap for Integrative Medicine."
Despite its popularity and efficacy, homeopathy has been a subject of controversy and criticism. Some medical professionals have questioned its scientific basis and have called for more research to be conducted on its effectiveness. Nevertheless, homeopathy has been recognized as a legitimate form of medicine in many countries and is widely used as an alternative to conventional medicine.
