Imphal, April 10:
The founder of Homeopathy Dr Samuel Hahnemann was remembered on his 253rd birth anniversary at State guest house today under the aegis of the Homeopathic Medical Association of India, Manipur Branch and National Homeo Clinic and Pharmacy, Thangal Bazar.
Speaking on the occasion as chief guest, Health and Family Welfare Minister Ph Parijat said that homeopathic system of treatment does not cost much and it can cure many diseases for good.
However, people have limited awareness on this natural method of treatment, rued Parijat while highlighting the importance of creating awareness among the people about homeopathy.
In his presidential speech, Dr M Nara remarked that Dr Hahnemann was one of the front runners in the history of medical revolution.
Guided by his philosophy to treat various diseases in the most ideal manner, he conducted different experiments, Nara said.
To treat a disease without causing side-effects on the patient within a short time is the basic principle behind homeopathy, he added.
He further appealed to the State Government to establish a separate AYUSH hospital so that people of the State can benefit from homeopathic method of treatment.
When the homeopathic methods of treatment are becoming popular because of its ability to cure chronic diseases without causing any side-effect at a minimum cost, some homeopathic doctors are deliberately making the treatment costly.
Such practice should be nipped at the bud.
These doctors trying to earn extra money should not be encouraged under any circumstances, he stated.
Today's observance was also attended by Superintendent of JN Hospital W Motilal and Superintendent of Churachandpur district hospital T Hajao besides many homeopathic and Allopathic doctors.
