A historical look at homeopathy’s rise and the battles it sparked.

This careful study traces the origins, conflicts, and key moments of homeopathy, set against the backdrop of 19th‑century medicine, with an appendix on the state of university medicine.

This edition surveys how homeopathy challenged dominant practices, the reactions of the medical establishment, and the efforts to legitimize or suppress the system. It blends biographical detail, clinical anecdotes, and courtroom or public controversies to illuminate a pivotal chapter in medical history.

Learn how early practitioners argued for dispensing their own remedies and debated the role of apothecaries and bleeding.
Explore the clash between “rational” medicine and emerging homeopathic methods, including cases, trials, and public debate.
Meet influential figures, publishers, and physicians who shaped the reception of homeopathy in Europe and beyond.

Ideal for readers of medical history and those curious about how rival theories reshape a field, from the origins of a system to its long‑lasting debates.
