Consequently, many Muslims have been attracted to homeopathy, a type of alternative to the more commonly used modern medicine. 

Homeopathy is a system of healing based on the investigations and principles of Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, who formulated this science in the 1790s. He had become disillusioned with the medicine of his day, which employed techniques such as violent purges, leeches, and strong medicines, such as mercury and arsenic. Hahnemann despaired when such practices failed to cure his children when they fell ill, and he foreswore the use of such techniques, seeking a better way of healing..
