Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a complementary medicine system founded in the late 18th century that uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's self-healing abilities. Practitioners select remedies based on the principle of "like cures like," meaning a substance causing symptoms in a healthy person might treat similar symptoms in a sick person. These remedies are prepared through repeated dilutions and shaking, often resulting in solutions with minimal or no active molecules. While many view homeopathy as lacking strong scientific evidence, some patients report symptom relief. Its effectiveness remains a topic of ongoing debate within the medical and scientific communities.
