Poster about homeopathy by YPIH
Homeopathy is a medical approach mainly founded by Samuel Hahnemann. A basic principle is a pharmaceutical process of repetitive steps of diluting and mixing called potentization. The name homeopathy comes from the approach of similarity (greek ὁμοῖος homóios, english similar and πάθος páthos, english suffering). In latin this is called similia similibus curentur translatin to "like cures like".[1] The underlying theory is that if a substances causes certain symptoms it will be a remedy for a disease with similar symptoms.

Observation, reflection, and experience have unfolded to me that the best and true method of cure is founded on the principle, similia similibus curentur. To cure in a mild, prompt, safe, and durable manner, it is necessary to choose in each case a medicine that will excite an affection similar to that against which it is employed.
