Homeopathy:

Medicine developed by Samuel Hahnemann towards the end of the 18th century, based on the understanding that healing comes from within, from the body's innate self-healing forces. These forces are to be stimulated by certain substances that would actually cause respective disease if given in a high doses; intending to heal an illness with its equal substance.

The practice of the use of active ingredients in minute dosages along with naturally occurring substances in order to provide a healthier balance of internal chemistry. These minute dosages would be viewed in traditional medicine as ineffective. A natural form of medicine that uses immeasurably small doses of medicines to stimulate the body's own defense and healing process. Homeopathy focuses on bringing the entire body back into homeostasis, or balance.

A form of medicine that relies on minute amounts of herbs, minerals, and other substances to stimulate natural defenses against disease. It is more widely used in Western Europe than the United States, but it is used around the globe, as it has not toxicity. The therapy uses the "law of similars" to treat disease, that is, if large amounts of a substance such as quinine cause symptoms of an illness in a healthy person, then smaller amounts are used for the cure.
