The third sentence:
>Its practitioners, called homeopaths, believe that a substance that causes symptoms of a disease in healthy people can cure similar symptoms in sick people; this doctrine is called similia similibus curentur, or "like cures like".
I think homeopathy just applies to the pseudoscientific/fake "like cures like" dilution method. The broad category is just known as "alternative medicine", I believe. Some other forms of alternative medicine aren't necessarily quite as baseless.
