Homeopathy is an alternative form of medicine that employs infinitesimal doses, individualized treatments and the concept of "like cures like". Practitioners are attempting to gain credibility with standard medical practice by making their drug testing (provings) conform more closely to the placebo and double-blind crossover studies done by standard medicine. Overdoses of homeopathic remedies are seldom serious (although all should be evaluated) because of the very small doses employed.
