Are the priciples of homeopathy derived from the Upanisads?

Answer 1

I'm sorry but it appears that, no, they were not. Read this article http://www.dr-dom.com/homeopathy_history.html

From this article: "The official birth date of homeopathy is 1796 since this is the year that Hahnemann published an article in the Journal of Practical Medicine, in which he delineated three methods of healing:

1. preventive treatment - the removal of the causes of illness,
2. palliative treatment by the principle of contraria contraris, that is healing by opposites, and
3. the preferred method - similia similibus - the treatment of likes with likes, namely the prescribing of medicines that cause similar symptoms in healthy individuals.

Hahnemann coined the term homoeopathy, from the Greek words homois meaning similar and pathos meaning disease. The word homoeopathic first appeared in print in an article he published in 1807."

Although he did a lot of translating of medical texts, there is no mention of the Upanishads.
