relating to or characteristic of Samuel Hahnemann or his system of homeopathic medicine.
Derived from Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), German physician who founded homeopathy; the '-ian' suffix indicates adherence to his theories and principles of medical practice.
Hahnemann was rejected by conventional medicine but became wildly popular—he basically invented the placebo effect as a medical concept centuries before scientists understood it, and homeopathy still boasts millions of believers today.
