Homeopathy is an alternative medicine system created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, based on his doctrine of similar cures (similia similibus curentur), a claim that a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people could cure similar symptoms in people sick Homeopathy is a pseudoscience, a belief that is incorrectly presented as scientific. Homeopathic preparations are not effective in treating any condition. Large-scale studies have found that homeopathy is not more effective than a placebo, indicating that the positive effects that follow treatment are only due to the placebo effect, the normal recovery of the disease or the regression to the mean.
