Homoeopathy is a [[Pseudoscience|pseudo-scientific]] method which is used for the treatment of nearly all illnesses. It was invented by the saxon doctor and occultist [[Samuel Hahnemann]] around the year 1800 and exists almost unchanged today. The homoeopathy relies on two general basic principles. One of them, known as the "law of similars", is "let like be cured by like." Inventor Hahnemann specified at that time that, according to the law of similars, every illness is cured by substances which cause similar symptoms when they are taken by a healthy patient. The other principle is called potentization (actually meaning dilution). The homoeopathic remedies shall work the more strongly the more they are diluted into solution according to a particular procedure. None of these two principles could be confirmed experimentally until now.
