The semantics of homoeopathy

Author(s): SEARCY, R., REYES, O.

Abstract: Homoeopathy is often referred to as a form of 'alternative' or 'complementary' medicine. This results in the marginalization of homoeopathy and tends to equate allopathy with medicine. In fact homoeopathy is a medical speciality and our semantics should reflect this: There is a need to improve our courses and incorporate interdisciplinary topics. The use of the terms dilution and potency is also discussed.
