I’ve asked my students what homeopathy is, and they generally say “natural” and/or “herbal” medicine.
Homeopathy’s biggest superpower is that almost no one knows what it is… which means its kryptonite is education. 👊😊

Yup, if you are nauseous and vomiting the homeopathic treatment is...syrup of ipecac, something that causes the same symptoms in healthy people.
It wasn't until this nonsense obviously didn't work that the inventor later decided to to dilute the active ingredient to nothing.
@ThinkingPowers
The popular homeopathic remedies (leg spasms & Arnica cream) don't actually have any ingredient in it - but they hide that, & the fact that it's Homeopathic
The packaging looks like it's an herbal remedy

Homeopathy heavily leans on the Allure of the Unknown. It manufactures the idea (from whole cloth) that science and medicine collectively know nothing but that *you* could be a part of solving real medical problems. The power of discovery…

They make homoeopathic 'remedies' by continually diluting stuff by throwing away 90% and further diluting over and over again - those 90%s go down the drains into the ocean, if homoeopathy is real why does no one talk about the toxic ocean pollution
