Homeopathy is used by over 200 million people worldwide to treat both acute and chronic conditions. It’s also recognized by the World Health Organization as the second-largest system of medicine in the world.
Homeopathy is a gentle, natural system of medicine that works with your body rather than against it. It’s based on the principle of “like cures like,” meaning a substance that can cause symptoms in a healthy person can help relieve those same symptoms in someone who is unwell. These substances are prepared in very small, potent doses to stimulate the body’s innate ability to restore balance and heal.
It’s not about suppressing symptoms, it’s about listening to them and supporting the body through them. Homeopathy considers your physical, emotional, and energetic patterns to select remedies that reflect the whole picture of your being. It honors the truth that your body is wise, and that healing is not one-size-fits-all.
A Brief History: What Happened to Homeopathy?
Homeopathy was once a widely respected and mainstream form of medicine. In the 1800s and early 1900s, homeopathic hospitals, medical schools, and physicians flourished across the United States, with impressive records of healing during major epidemics like cholera and influenza.
But in the early 20th century, something shifted.
Around 1910, a man named Abraham Flexner, backed by funding from John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, published the Flexner Report. This report evaluated medical schools across the country and set the stage for modern, pharmaceutical-based medicine. The Rockefeller Foundation, having discovered the vast commercial potential of petrochemical-based pharmaceuticals, began investing heavily in medical institutions under one condition:
They must abandon holistic and homeopathic training and adopt a pharmaceutical curriculum.
These universities, hungry for funding and prestige, complied. Homeopathy and other traditional modalities were quietly pushed out of medical education. Homeopathic hospitals were shut down. Licensure requirements were rewritten. Over time, pharmaceutical medicine became the only "accepted" standard, while holistic forms of healing were labeled unscientific or outdated, despite decades (and even centuries) of safe and effective use.
Why It Matters Today
Homeopathy remains a powerful, time-honored system of medicine used by millions around the world. In countries like India, Germany, and Switzerland, it's still integrated into mainstream healthcare. And here in the U.S., it’s experiencing a quiet renaissance as more women and families seek care that is intuitive, non-invasive, and aligned with the body’s natural rhythms.
At Mother Bloom Collective, we are reclaiming what was never broken. Homeopathy reminds us that healing doesn’t have to be forced.
