Homoeopathic (or homeopathic) medicine is based on the theory of treating like with like. Homoeopathic remedies use highly diluted substances that, if given in higher doses to a healthy person, would produce the symptoms that the dilutions are being given to treat. In assessing their patients, homoeopaths often take into account a range of physical, emotional and lifestyle factors which contribute to the diagnosis.
