Homeopathy is a system of medicine that originated in the late eighteenth century and is grounded in a distinct philosophical framework emphasizing individualized treatment, the law of similar, and the use of highly diluted remedies. Since its formal articulation by Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy has undergone conceptual refinement, reinterpretation, and adaptation in response to clinical experience, scientific discourse, and changing healthcare environments. Classical homeopathic texts laid the foundational principles that defined its epistemology, methodology, and therapeutic approach, while subsequent generations of practitioners and scholars expanded these principles through systematic proving, repertory development, and clinical observations. Over time, the interaction between classical doctrines and contemporary healthcare demands has shaped the evolution of homeopathic practice, leading to both continuity and divergence in theoretical interpretation and application. This conceptual review explores the historical progression of core homeopathic principles from their origins in classical literature to their manifestations in modern practice. It examines how fundamental ideas such as individualization, vital force, symptom totality, and minimal dosing have been preserved, modified, or recontextualized across different periods. The review also considers the influence of institutionalization, educational reforms, and methodological pluralism on the interpretation of homeopathic philosophy. By tracing this evolution, the article highlights the dynamic nature of homeopathy as a medical system that balances adherence to its foundational texts with pragmatic adaptations to contemporary clinical realities. Understanding this evolution is essential for contextualizing present-day debates within homeopathy, particularly those concerning standardization, evidence generation, and integration with broader healthcare systems. The review aims to provide a concise yet coherent conceptual overview that can support academic discussion, curricular development, and reflective practice within the homeopathic community. Through a historical and philosophical lens, the paper underscores the relevance of classical principles while acknowledging the factors that have contributed to their ongoing reinterpretation in modern contexts, thereby offering insights into the continuity and transformation of homeopathic thought over more than two centuries.
