Homeopathy subscribes to three main therapeutic principles:
- the law of similar,
- the use of single medicine,
- and the use of minimal doses.
The law of similar is based on the concept of treating "like with like". According to the law of similar
- The symptoms of an illness are the result of the body's effort to restore itself to health.
- Medicines producing symptoms that mimic the symptoms of an illness can be used as a treatment for the illness.
