Homeopathy is a natural system of medicine that uses very small doses of substances—called remedies—to help the body heal itself. These remedies come from nature, including plants, minerals, and even animal sources
It’s different from herbal medicine. Herbal medicine uses stronger plant extracts, while homeopathy uses highly diluted doses that can come from many natural sources—not just plants
The word homeopathy comes from Greek: “homeos” means “similar” and “pathos” means “suffering.” So, homeopathy means treating illness with something that causes similar symptoms in a healthy person.
