What is Homeopathy and how does it work?
How it's supposed to work (Homeopathic Theory)
Like Cures Like (Similia Similibus Curentur): A substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person is believed to cure similar symptoms in someone who is sick.
Potentization (Dilution & Succussion): A substance (plant, mineral, animal) is repeatedly diluted in water or alcohol and vigorously shaken (succussed).
Memory of Water: Practitioners claim this process makes the liquid "remember" the original substance, increasing its power, even when diluted to the point where no original molecules remain.
Holistic Approach: Homeopaths treat the individual, not just the disease, considering personality, lifestyle, and history to find a unique remedy.
