HOMEOPATHY

The art of curing, founded on resemblances; the theory and its practice that malady is cured (tuto, cito, et jucunde) by remedies which manufacture on a healthy face effects similar to the symptoms of the complaint under which the patient suffers, the remedies being generally administered in minute doses. This system was founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, and is opposed to allopathy, or heteropathy. Alternative forms: homoepathy. Origin: Gr. Likeness of condition or feeling; like (fr. Same; cf. Same) + to suffer: cf. F. Homeopathie. See Pathos. Source: Websters Vocabulary
