Homeopathy

Science of healing.

Homeopathy or homoeopathy is a system of alternative medicine. It was created in 1796 by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann. Its practitioners, called homeopaths / Physicians, believe that a substance that causes symptoms of a disease in healthy people would cure similar symptoms in sick people; this doctrine is called similia similibus curentur, or "like cures like".

Homeopathic preparations are termed remedies and are made using homeopathic dilution. In this process, a chosen substance is repeatedly and thoroughly diluted. The final product is chemically indistinguishable from the diluent,which is usually either distilled water, ethanol or sugar; often, not even a single molecule of the original substance can be expected to remain in the product.
