Omg I remember having this argument with my friends. “Well there are some home remedies that work, modern medicine doesn’t have a monopoly on all knowledge” OK but homeopathic medicine just means its water, plain water that remembers being able to cure a disease, its fake “Yeah but they’re not all like that some of them work, my grandma would use a half of an onion to take the pain out of bee stings” jfc I’m literally not talking about that, I’m talking about water sold as medicine that is covered by most major insurance! look it up!
Actually homeopathic refers to medicine which fights disease by inducing similar symptoms or etiology as the disease.
And example is capsaicin for pain management.
The word got attached to ultra dilute solutions later in the game, mostly because ultra dilute solutions are easy to debunk, which facilitates making fun of homeopathy.
“Homeopathic” does not mean organic, or good for you, natural, wholesome, effective, or inherently safe to consume.
It is, in fact, a code word for no active ingredient.

Water? Over here it’s just a plethora of sugar pearls.
Solvent* then. Get them all under one umbrella

Screw the meaning, first time hearing this word! But thank you, good to know!
