History of Homeopathy – Homeopathic Pharmacy in Russian

Russian Homeopathic Pharmacy

I’ve heard a lot of stories about homeopathy throughout history with a lot of amazing things that happen, but I’ve never heard this story before!

This is the entrance to the Homeopathic pharmacy in St. Petersburg Russia, which was officially opened in 1892. St. John of Kronstadt, a Saint of the Orthodox Church, said the words during opening ceremony when he blessed the pharmacy and stressed that God himself showed examples of treating spiritual and physical illnesses with the principal of “like cures like “by instructing us to partake of Christ’s body and blood united with divinity. Russian people appreciate homeopathy, though legally only MD’s are allowed to practice there.
