 +Legatum Homeopathicum stands for homeopathic heritage and it is a gift to humanity -- a promise that a great sacrifice and effort which Hahnemann and his followers made for the rise of homeopathy would not be in vain, that the fruits of their efforts will not only be preserved, but further developed and improved.

-According to their abilities ​and capabilities users can contribute their work (eg. fixing errors, structuring existing information, [[en:projekty|work on new projects]]) and financially. Financial aid is very important because it allows us to pay experts to work on projects that require tens of thousands of hours of work. If you care about the development of homeopathy, one-off or regular [[https://​www.paypal.com/​cgi-bin/​webscr?​cmd=_s-xclick&​hosted_button_id=F8Y3XKQ2FKS9Q|financial contribution]] of any amount is a great way to contribute.+Restoration ​and advancement of pure Hahnemannian homeopathy is our primary goalrealized by means of developing ​[[en:projects|various ​projects]].
