Relating to homeopathy, a system of medicine founded in the late 1 7oos by Samuel Hahnemann. The system is based on the principle that “like cures like.” Practitioners believe that a substance that produces a set of symptoms in a well person will, in minute, “potentized” doses, cure those same symptoms in a diseased individual.
Like heals like. This philosophy posits that a cure may be sought by treating the illness with minute amounts of a substance that would cause similar symptoms of the illness in a healthy person.
Referring to a drug which is given in very small quantities.
