Homeopathic capsules are a form of alternative medicine that utilize highly diluted substances, often encapsulated in a solid dosage form, to treat various ailments. The term "homeopathic" originates from the Greek words homoios (similar) and pathos (suffering), reflecting the principle of "like cures like." In Hebrew, homeopathic capsules are referred to as כפסולות הומיאופתיות. The concept is based on the idea that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can treat similar symptoms in a sick person when diluted to an extreme degree. These capsules are prepared by diluting the active ingredient in a series of steps, often with vigorous shaking between each dilution, a process known as succussion. The resulting solution is then encapsulated for oral administration. Homeopathic remedies are widely used in Europe, India, and other parts of the world, although their efficacy is a subject of ongoing debate within the scientific community. In French, they are known as capsules homéopathiques, and in German, they are referred to as homöopathische Kapseln. Despite their popularity, many health authorities, including the World Health Organization, caution that homeopathic remedies should not replace conventional treatments for serious conditions.
