- comicjk 7y agoMaybe you're thinking of hormesis? That's the term for small amounts of damage bring helpful, as with exercise. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormesis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormesis But this is a detectable amount of damage, so it's not homeopathy.
- ganzuul 7y agoNo, I'm familiar with the concept but the OP was specifically talking about plant toxins. I don't know if the idea of extreme dilution and water memory have always been a part of homeopathy. I don't believe those ideas have any merit. They seem like a perversion of legitimate herbal medicine. Perhaps I should have lead with that...
