Meticulous record keeping in the homeopathic facility of Kalyan Banerjee in South Delhi marks the key scientific structure of homeopathic treatment.

Abstract: Samuel Hahnemann founded homoeopathy in 1796 as a holistic system of medicine where ‘the person in the disease’ is treated and not ‘the disease in the person’. It is perhaps the best alternative system of medicine, which is safest for the new born, the elderly and affordable even to the poorest. Homoeopathic medicines are effective in infections, allergies, auto-immune, surgical, hormonal and psychological diseases, in addition to veterinary and plant diseases.
