Instead, it evolved with the emergence of holistic healing and Eastern philosophy in the United States and today is a form of alternative medicine practiced by more than 100,000 physicians worldwide and used by millions of people to treat everyday ailments as well as acute and chronic diseases. The History of American Homeopathy traces the rise of lay practitioners in shaping homeopathy as a healing system and its relationship to other forms of complementary and alternative medicine in an age when conventional biomedicine remains the dominant form. Representing the most current and up-to-date history of American homeopathy, readers will benefit from John S. Haller Jr.'s comprehensive explanation of complementary medicine within the American social, scientific, religious, and philosophic traditions.HomeopathyUnited StatesHistory19th centuryHomeopathyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryHomeopathyHistoryHomeopathyHistory615.5/32Haller John S888849Flannery Michael1716570MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814251503321The history of American homeopathy4111988UNINA
