Homeopathy comes from the Greek words "homios" meaning similar and "pathos" meaning suffering. Similar Suffering. Homeopathic medicine is based on "the Law of Similars" or "like cures like". This means that the same substance that produces disease symptoms in a healthy person when given in large doses, can also cure a sick person with similar symptoms when given in very diluted doses. Like cures like.
