Homeopathy is an ancient and complex therapeutic method that is rediscovering its scientific foundations. Hormesis is a frequently observed phenomenon that has been rigorously reported with precise dose-response curves. The therapeutic method based on the principle of 'like cures like' should not be confused with hormesis, which has several different implications from those of homeopathy. Yet, because both these approaches to nature and medicine are very broad in scope, they do end up having some points of contact. Thus, the well-established and consolidated field of hormesis can help cast light, through its ideas and research methods, on the possible mechanisms of action of remedies in ultra-low doses.
顺势疗法是一种古老而复杂的治疗方法，正在重新发现其科学基础。兴奋效应是一种经常观察到的现象，已有精确的剂量反应曲线的严格报道。基于“以毒攻毒”原则的治疗方法不应与兴奋效应相混淆，兴奋效应与顺势疗法有不同的含义。然而，由于这两种对待自然和医学的方法范围都非常广泛，它们最终确实有一些接触点。因此，成熟且稳固的兴奋效应领域可以通过其理念和研究方法，为超低剂量药物可能的作用机制提供启示。
