What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the principle that
a disease with a given set of symptoms can be cured by a
medicine (remedy) which is known to produce a similar set of
symptoms. This principle where "like cures like" is called
“The Law of Similars” and is the foundation of Homeopathic
Medicine.

Homeopathy involves the selection and prescription of a medication
(remedy), which through prior testing on healthy people and from clinical experience and observation, is known to produce a similar symptom picture to that of the patient. The medication (remedy) is prescribed in the minimum dosage required to bring about (stimulate) healing. Refer to the Skepdic entry below for a comprehensive history and analysis of homeopathy.
