More than two centuries of use
Homeoprophylaxis dates to 1799, when Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, used Belladonna during a scarlet fever epidemic in Germany. Since then, homeopathic practitioners, hospitals and public health programs around the world have reported using homeoprophylaxis during outbreaks. A selection of published records follows.

- 1902, Iowa. During a smallpox epidemic, Dr. C.W. Eaton reported that of 547 definitely exposed patients given Variolinum, 14 developed the disease. Eaton CW. Transactions of the American Institute of Homeopathy, 1907.
