ABSTRACT
Homeopathy, a holistic system of medicine founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, is increasingly recognized for its role in enhancing the immune system. Grounded in the principles of "like cures like" and the "law of minimum dose," homeopathy seeks to stimulate the body’s self-regulatory and healing mechanisms using highly diluted natural substances. This article explores the therapeutic potential of homeopathic remedies in improving overall immunity and health resilience. By treating individuals based on their unique physical and emotional states, homeopathy provides personalized care that goes beyond symptomatic relief. Common remedies such as Oscillococcinum, Echinacea, and Arsenicum album have shown promise in reducing vulnerability to infections and supporting immune function, especially during seasonal changes and periods of stress. The review highlights how homeopathy may serve as a complementary or alternative strategy in immune modulation, offering benefits where conventional treatments are limited or less tolerated. Patient-reported outcomes also suggest improvements in energy, mood, sleep, and overall vitality. While further clinical evidence is warranted, homeopathy presents a valuable approach for preventive and integrative healthcare.

INTRODUCTION
Homeopathy was founded some two hundred years ago by Dr Samuel Christian Hahnemann. Over time, it has grown to be among the most frequently used forms of alternative medicine in Europe and the USA. It is underpinned by the principle of ‘like cures like’, where highly diluted substances are used for therapeutic purposes, by producing similar symptoms to when the substance is used in healthy people.

Treatments based on
Like cures like” the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people. “Law of minimum dose” the notion that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness. Many homeopathic products are so diluted that no molecules of the original substance remain.

When you first see a homeopath, they'll usually ask you about any specific health conditions and your general wellbeing, emotional state, lifestyle and diet. Based on this, the homeopath will decide on the course of treatment, which often takes the form of homeopathic remedies given as a pill, capsule or tincture (solution). Your homeopath may recommend that you attend one or more follow-up appointments so the remedy's effects on your health can be assessed.Homeopathic medicines are aimed at improving the level of health by stimulating the self-regulatory mechanism. Improving the level of health implies reducing any disease process as well as the susceptibility to illness and disease. That means that it is not limited to certain diseases but is universally applicable to all kinds of diseases. It can often be used as a first option in certain medical conditions, keeping more costly and potentially toxic treatment as a second option. In addition, it can offer therapeutic options where conventional treatments have failed or where conventional treatments do not exist for the problem, where they are contraindicated or not tolerated. In many disorders homeopathy should be a first-choice treatment instead of a last resort. Homeopathy looks beyond the labels of disease to cure their causes rather than merely their symptoms and it stimulates the body’s own natural healing powers to bring health, vitality and well-being. It does not treat superficially by just driving away the symptoms but heals the patient from within. It uses medicines that cover the disturbance of the whole person rather than giving different medicines for different afflicted parts of the body. Patients often report improvement in overall energy, mood, quality of sleep, and digestion, and the disappearance of other symptoms apparently unrelated to the condition being treated with homeopathy.
Examples for immunity boosting
Homeopathic remedies are recognized for their capacity to bolster the immune system through various means. Widely-used remedies such as Oscillococcinum, Echinacea, and Arsenicum album are believed to enhance immunity, diminish susceptibility to infections, and bolster the body’s natural defense mechanisms. These treatments are particularly beneficial during seasonal transitions, periods of stress, or when feeling depleted
