Our body has the capacity to heal itself from any disease. Whereas, homeopathy is a science that works on the same concept.  This medicinal science was first introduced by a German physician and chemist DR. Samuel Hahnemann to the world. Hahnemann was born on 10 April 1755 in Paris.

Therefore to acknowledge homeopathy and its contribution to the world, the Homeopathy Say is observed every 10th April.

Every year, the World Homeopathy Awareness Week is held and organized from 10 April to 16 April, by the World Homeopathy Awareness Organization. Many public events such as free lectures and workshops, free homeopathy clinic visits, posts on social media are shared, volunteer first-aid at events, media interviews are organized worldwide.
