jan 1, 1807 - Samuel Hahnemann

Description:

Samuel Hahnemann is the father of Experimental Pharmacology because he was the first doctor to prepare medicines in a specific way. In 1807 he first published the discovery of homeopathy. Homeopathy came from him studying the symptoms of a specific tree bark that would induce symptoms of malaria on a healthy human. He came up with the idea that "like cures like." He believed that if the bark would have this affect on a healthy person then it would cure the disease of malaria of an infected person. This is how Samuel Hahnemann became the founder of Homeopathy.
