In 1853, Dr. Humphrey's became one of the leading homeopathic physicians in New York. His achievements included being Chairman of the American Institute of Homeopathy’s “Bureau for the Augmentation and Improvement of the Materia Medica” of the American Institute of Homeopathy. During this time he also helped to establish what came to be known as The New York State Homeopathic Medical Society.

An apothecary would make medicines and that cure people. The medicines were made from herbs and plants.

As one of his most pivotal and significant contributions to homeopathic medicine, Dr. Humphrey's introduced his finding of homeopathic “combinations” and coined the term “Homeopathic Specifics.” The value of combination preparations was that they offered, in a single dose, what traditional homeopathic physicians would prescribe by the individual ingredient, or “singles.”

This approach made it easy for homeopaths to diagnose and selfprescribe without the need to worry about a host of traditional concerns, including content or potency selection. In 1854, The Humphrey's Homeopathic Medicine Co. was established (later incorporated under the name “Humphrey's Pharmacal”) and began to market his namesake products, Humphrey's Homeopathic Specifics. These preparations, along with Dr. Humphrey's’ belief in natural healing, continue to be the basis for our both our homeopathic and skincare products.
