Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 Homeopathic medicine is a natural pharmaceutical science that uses various plants, minerals or animals in very small dose to stimulate the sick person's natural defenses. The medicines are individually chosen for their ability to cause in overdose the similar symptoms the person is experiencing. " Homoios " in Greek means similar and " pathos " means disease or suffering. Since one's symptoms are actually efforts of the organism to reestablish homeostasis or balance, it is logical to seek a substance that would, in overdose, cause the similar symptoms the person is experiencing. The medicines, thus, go with, rather than against, the person's natural defenses. Blessings, Yvonne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
