Homeopathy traces its origin to the late 1700s. Historically, the ideology behind the practice was to prescribe small quantities of an illness-causing substance as a cure for the same illness. Today, homeopathic remedies may range from chamomile tea to essential oils. These treatments often include herbs and other plant substances.
