What is homeopathy?

Homeopathy, also known as homeopathic medicine. It is a medical system that dates back more than 200 years and was developed in Germany. It’s based on two unconventional theories:

The “law of minimum dose” holds that a medication’s effectiveness increases with a lower dose. Many homeopathic products are so diluted that the original substance is no longer present.

The adage “like cures like” holds that a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people can treat a disease.

Plants, minerals (like white arsenic), animals (like crushed whole bees), and plants make up homeopathic products. Sugar pellets are commonly used to administer homeopathic remedies. They can also come in ointments, gels, drops, creams, and tablets, among other forms. It is common for different people with the same condition to receive different treatments because treatments are “individualized,” or tailored to each person. Homeopathy recognizes clinical patterns of signs and symptoms that are distinct from those of conventional medicine and uses a different diagnostic system to assign treatments to individuals.
