Homeopathy

Following homeopathy’s principle of “like cures like”, homeopathic remedies aim to stimulate the body’s own healing power by introducing tiny doses of natural substances that in larger doses would produce similar symptoms. The chosen substance is diluted in alcohol or distilled water, followed by succession (forceful striking on an elastic body), which is believed to increase the remedy’s potency. There are about 3000 commonly used homeopathy remedies. Some are made from animal, plant, mineral and synthetic substances. Others are made from diseased or pathological products (nosos), and some from healthy specimens (sarcodes). (source: Wikipedia)
