La palabra "homeopatía" significa "sufrimiento similar". Se administra un medicamento homeopático en función de su capacidad para imitar el estado de la enfermedad, lo que estimula al cuerpo a curarse a sí mismo. Los homeópatas consideran que el mecanismo de defensa del propio cuerpo es el sistema de curación óptimo. El medicamento homeopático correctamente seleccionado estimula estas defensas para que funcionen con mayor eficacia.
