Homeopathy Homeopathy (also homopathy or homoeopathy is a controversial form of complementary and alternative medicine postulated in the late 18th century by German physician Samuel Hahnemann. Substances, which in large quantities would cause symptoms similar to the disease, are administered in heavily diluted formulations. According to homeopathic belief, the process of serial dilution, with shaking at each stage of the dilution, removes any negative side-effects of the treatment and retains therapeutic powers, even past the point where no molecules of the original substance are likely to remain. Hahnemann wrote that this process aroused and enhanced "spirit-like medicinal powers held within a drug". |
