treated with drugs that produce a healthy person symptoms similar to
disease, or instead directly combat the disease, the drugs are function
stimulate the body to fight the disease. It is a therapy that treats individuals with
diseases, seeking an explanation of the disease (defining the clinical diagnosis,
treatment and
prognosis, according to current knowledge) and containing the patient

useful addition or "complement" in other situations, such as support in good recovery
after operations.
The Homeopathy is based on the principle of the use of substances capable of causing
disturbance
in the mind or the body of healthy people, in the form diluted, acting as medicine
to treat disorders like someone sick, whatever the cause of the disease
