How is "homeopathy" related to plant medicine?

Homeopathy is related to plant medicine through its principle of using highly diluted substances to treat health issues. In homeopathy, the treatment involves taking substances that in larger amounts would cause symptoms in a healthy person, but in dilutions that are often infinitesimal, are believed to stimulate the body's healing processes.

This approach aligns with certain aspects of plant medicine, as many homeopathic remedies can be derived from plants or plant extracts. The underlying belief is that the healing properties of plants can be preserved and enhanced through this process of dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking).

In contrast, the other options do not reflect how homeopathy operates. For example, homeopathy does not rely on high doses of herbal extracts, nor is it focused on surgical treatments or physical therapy; it is fundamentally a system of alternative medicine that emphasizes the use of diluted remedies based on the concept of "like cures like."
