What does homeopathy mean?
A system of alternative medicine that uses highly diluted substances to treat various health conditions. It is based on the idea that 'like cures like', where a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in a person who is ill.
Example
"The doctor recommended homeopathy to alleviate the patient's symptoms without resorting to conventional medication."
