Homeopathy

The name ‘homeopathy’ is derived from the Greek ‘homoios’ (like or similar) and ‘pathos’ (suffering) and so means ‘similar suffering’. It is a system of treatment in which a disease state (mental, emotional, or physical) is treated by a remedy which is able to produce similar symptoms when given to a healthy person. Homeopathic remedies are prepared by a process of potentisation which removes addictive or toxic effects, rendering them safe for treatment.
