Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses natural substances to stimulate the body’s own immune system to heal disease. It is based on the principle of “like cures like”: the same substance that causes illness cures it by varying the dose of the substance. Homeopathic practitioners consider the patient’s overall health, symptoms, and personality when selecting a remedy. Two people with the same disease may need two completely different homeopathic medicines.
