What is "homeopathy"?
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that uses substances from plants and minerals, which are weakened by adding water to them to encourage the body's natural healing processes. Practitioners believe that these weakened substances, which can cause symptoms in healthy individuals, can treat similar symptoms in those who are unwell. Homeopathic remedies are thought to work by activating the body's self-healing abilities. Practitioners prescribe these remedies based on a person's specific symptoms and overall health. While homeopathy is popular in some regions, its effectiveness is debated in standard medicine due to the lack of scientific evidence supporting its claims.
