| Description | Charles-Gaspard Peschier can be seen, together with the late Pierre Dufresne (1786-1836), as the leading propagandist of homeopathy in French-speaking countries, especially in the "Région du Léman". Beyond practising homeopathy himself, he dedicated his whole life to the propagation of this healing method. Peschier initiated two homeopathic societies, gaining influence and a strong reputation in the political arena. In 1832 he co-founded the "Bibliothèque Homoeopathique", the first French journal of homeopathic medicine. This study contains a compliation of Peschier's publications, which have been summarised for the first time in this form. Out of a total of 119 papers attributed to Peschier, 111 deals with homeopathic issues. |
