The article briefly describes the method of classical homeopathy, its laws, provides a position on the relationship of diseases in the human body. The modern trends and main
foreign schools of classical homeopathy used in Russia are shown. Hippocrates formulated two basic principles of the treatment of diseases: treatment
with the opposite and treatment with a similar one. Later, especially after the works of Galen, the opposite treatment became the main dogma of medicine.This treatment turned
out to be forgotten and was recreated at the end of the 18th century by the German physician and researcher Samuel Hahnemann in the form of a holistic therapeutic system
called homeopathy. The main principles of homeopathy are the law of similarity, the
principle of “small doses”, testing homeopathic medicines on healthy volunteers (in order
to study their medicinal properties) and the principle of “individual approach”.
