Sven Sommer (born 1963) studied chemistry in Heidelberg before switching to naturopathy and becoming a naturopath. The graduate of the Josef Angerer naturopathic school in Munich has been working in his own practice since 1992. Study trips to the university hospital in Chengdu in China and to homeopathy clinics in India deepened his knowledge.

He has written numerous books on homeopathy, including bestsellers such as "The Magic 11 of Homeopathy" or "GU Compass Homeopathy" and "The Great GU Compass Homeopathy". His books have been published in 20 countries and have sold over 1.5 million copies.

The book "Homeopathy - Why and how it works" by Sven Sommer proves that the "sweet medicine" of homeopathy can not only achieve astonishing healing results, but in many cases offers a gentle and inexpensive alternative to the "bitter pills" of conventional medicine.
