"a system of complementary medicine in which ailments are treated by minute doses of natural substances that in larger amounts would produce symptoms of the ailment." what does this describe?
Answers
Answer:
Homeopathy.
Explanation
- Homeopathy is an alternative system of medicine that was discovered by the German physician,Samuel Hahnemann in 1796.
- In homeopathy, the drugs are made in very small doses and are prepared from natural substances.
- According to Hahnemann, homeopathic drugs taken in large doses will cause the symptoms of the disease and sometimes may even result in fatal effects.
- So they need to be diluted to the lowest possible dose such that the end product contains only a trace of the drug and leave not one molecule in the end product.

Explanation:
Homeopathy was first introduced by Samuel Hahnemann. He stated in his theory that the substance which would create illness in healthy people would treat the symptoms of the illness in the sick people.
He suggested taking the drugs in small parts and the drug should be made of natural substances. His theory was scientifically wrong. The recovery that occurs was due to the normal recovery of the patient.
