Medicine
Description
Homeopathy (also spelled homœopathy or homoeopathy) from the Greek words όμοιος, hómoios (similar) and πάθος, páthos (suffering), is a system of alternative medicine that treats "like with like", using remedies that would, in healthy individuals, produce similar symptoms to those it would treat in an ill patient. Practitioners believe that the potency of a remedy can be increased by systematically diluting the dosage, along with succussion or shaking, to a point where the original ingredient is not present.
