"Homoeopathy cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment and is beyond doubt safer, more economical and most complete medical science" - Mahatma Gandhi.

The term Homoeopathy is derived from the Greek words Homeos, meaning “similar,” and pathos, meaning “suffering.” The medicines used in this system of therapeutics are chosen according to the Law of Similars (the concept of like curing like), a fundamental Homeopathic principle based on the observed relationship between a medicine’s ability to produce a specific constellation of signs and symptoms in a healthy individual and the same medicine’s ability to cure a sick patient with similar signs and symptoms.

Homoeopathy is one of the leading alternative systems of medicine worldwide introduced by Dr Samuel Hahnemann (1755 - 1843). It is practiced in more than 65 countries and recognized as the 2nd largest medical system in the world by World Health Organization.

Homoeopathy as a science of medical treatment has a philosophy of its own and its therapeutics are based on certain fundamental principles which are quite distinct and different from those of other School of medical sciences.

Homoeopathy seeks to relieve the individual as much as possible from the heavy burden of the hereditary tendencies he carries, and to guard against increasing this load by enabling his vital energy to provide its own immunity against disease.

The Homoeopathic system of medicine is safe and based on the individual constitution and totality of expressions. It believes in holistic, totalistic and individualistic mode through the well known constitutional approach which forms the corner stone of homoeopathic practice.

The World Homeopathy Day is celebrated every year on April 10 to pay tribute to Homoeopathy and its contribution to the world of medicine. The day is observed on the occasion of the birth anniversary of German physician Dr Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of Homoeopathy .This year we commemorate the 267th birth anniversary of Dr Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann.

World Homeopathy Day is celebrated not only to commemorate the birth of Dr Hahnemann. It is also a day to understand the challenges and future strategies to develop Homoeopathy even further. The system has got a widened acceptance towards health care and opens the doors of success to any aspiring student who desires to be a true practitioner of healing art. World Homeopathy Day seeks to bring the community together to establish, reinvent and modernize the system of medicine so that more people can reap its benefits.

Homeopathy is one of the most popular medical systems in India. It is one of the Medicine systems in the AYUSH - 'Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy.

In the pages of history of Mangalore the name Rev Fr Augustus Muller shines bright as gold. In the year 1878, with Jesuits from Venice sent to start colleges came a visionary Homoeopath Rev Fr Augustus Muller teaching in the newly started school, dispensed Homoeopathic medicines to students for a variety of ailments. The noble hearted Fr Muller had brought a chest of Homoeopathic medicines from Catellan, a Homoeopathic firm in Paris. With this he devoted himself to serve the sick people who were poverty ridden, neglected and uncared for. To accommodate the growing number of patients, he shifted to Kankanady hills under a banyan tree and continued his mission of healing and comforting the sick through Homoeopathy. Rev Fr Augustus Muller left to his heavenly abode in 1910 leaving behind a legacy of love and compassion that his successors at Fr Muller Institutions nurtured while constantly upgrading facilities keeping alive the motto of ‘Heal and comfort’.
