Homeopathy (also spelled homśopathy or homoeopathy), from the Greek words homoios (similar) and pathos (suffering), is a system of alternative medicine, notable for its controversial practice of prescribing water-based solutions that do not contain chemically active ingredients. The theory of homeopathy was developed by the Saxon physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755–1843) and first published in 1796.

Headache & Urethritis - Alumen
A patient suffered from a
pressure in the top of the head. She would suffer for weeks from that pressure on the top of the head, and the only relief she could get was from hard pressure.
She tired herself out with hard pressure and would contrive all kinds of weights to put upon the head.
That would go away in the night and she would wake up the next morning with
constant urging to urinate.
The
irritable bladder alternated with
pain on top of the head.
Alumen cured.
This case illustrates the peculiar nature of alternation of complaints. Alternation of states sometimes means that there are two diseases in the body, and sometimes the remedy covers the whole feature in alternation of states.
