When is World Homeopathy Day observed annually?

World Homeopathy Day is observed annually on April 10th. The date is chosen to honor the birthday of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy. Dr. Hahnemann was born on April 10, 1755, and is credited with developing the system of alternative medicine known as homeopathy. This form of medicine is based on his doctrine of like cures like (similia similibus curentur), a claim that a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people would cure similar symptoms in sick people.
