Homeopathy was first described  two hundred years ago by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann. He joined the Greek words homoio, meaning "like, the same," and pathos, to distinguish his new theory and practice from allopathy ( Greek, allos, means "other"). Hahnemann claimed that an illness can be cured by giving patients minute doses of drugs that in a healthy person would produce symptoms like those of the same illness.

Homeopathic remedies are considered OTC drugs by the FDA and thus can make certain health claims on their labels. The labels help simplify customers' purchase decisions, and they protect the retailer from charges of practicing medicine. Also, the store owner need not refer the customer back to a practitioner, since homeopathic remedies-especially combination remedies sold over-the-counter-are basically self-care treatments for minor, self-limiting problems. The OTC status of homeopathic remedies allows retailers to promote them with point-of-purchase materials and literature that help educate consumers about homeopathy.
