名詞

廃用

(history, homeopathy, originally derogatory, obsolete) A homoeopathic practitioner who sought to ascertain the aetiologies of diseases, focusing on the symptoms most regularly associated with their diagnosis (to the exclusion of peripheral and occasional symptoms), and who, for their treatment, selected remedies (administered in more-or-less undiluted form) on the basis of their general physiological effects, ignoring incidental and side-effects.

日本語の意味

特定の病因を究明することを目的とする、ホームオパシーの一形態の実践者。具体的には、診断において最も頻出する症状に注目し、他の周辺的または偶発的な症状は除外して、治療には一般的な生理学的効果に基づいた、ほぼ未希釈のレメディを選択する者を指す（歴史的かつ軽蔑的な用語で、現在では使用されない）。
