Homeopathy
(gcide) | Homeopathy \Ho*me*op"a*thy\, n. [Gr. ? likeness of condition or
feeling; ? like (fr. ? same; cf. Same) + ? to suffer: cf.
F. hom['e]opathie. See Pathos.] (Med.)
The art of curing, founded on resemblances; the theory and
its practice that disease is cured (tuto, cito, et jucunde)
by remedies which produce on a healthy person effects similar
to the symptoms of the complaint under which the patient
suffers, the remedies being usually administered in minute
doses. This system was founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, and
is opposed to allopathy, or heteropathy. [Written also
hom[oe]opathy.]
