Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on the premise a substance can cure the same problems it can cause, providing the substance is diluted in a specialised way, which involves vigorous shaking at each dilution (succussion).
Homeopathy uses infinitesimal dilutions of specific active ingredients to treat the symptoms that in larger doses the active substance might cause. Most homeopathic remedies are produced from either herbs, minerals or metals, which, if given in undiluted form to a healthy person, will cause that person to develop specific symptoms.
Is it safe?
Homeopathy is a perfectly safe form of treatment without side effects.
