The Law of Similars is a fundamental principle in homeopathy, a system of alternative medicine. It suggests that a substance causing symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat similar symptoms in a sick person. This concept is often summarized by the phrase "like cures like." In practice, homeopaths select remedies based on a patient's specific symptoms, matching them to substances that would produce those symptoms in a healthy individual. This approach aims to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, promoting recovery through the use of highly diluted remedies derived from plants, minerals, or animal sources.
