Abstract
Any innovation in history has started by pushing the limits and thinking outside the box. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) a German Physician, linguist, and the father of Homeopathy noticed that the medical practices of his time were crude and produced more harm than cure. This is the time when ether and chloroform were used as anesthetics in surgical units with lots of side effects, and mercury was used to treat syphilis, with treatment being worse than the disease (Figure 1).
