Samuel Hahnemann
German physician known for creating homeopathy
AI overview
Samuel Hahnemann was a German physician who developed homeopathy, a system of alternative medicine based on the principle that substances causing symptoms in healthy people can treat similar symptoms in sick people when highly diluted. His work in the late 1700s and early 1800s established a medical approach that remains influential today, though its scientific basis is disputed by mainstream medicine.
