Abstract
The discussion of the problems and value of homeopathy presupposes a thorough knowledge of its scientific foundations. The fundamental difference between conventional medicine and homeopathy requires the employment of different research tools. While both systems rely on exact empirical observation, their methodologies and pharmacologies differ in the way their medicines are manufactured, in their modes of observation and treatment and in their therapeutic objectives.
