antidoting

Applying a remedy

Antidoting is administering or serving as an antidote—a remedy that counteracts poison or other harmful effects.

In homeopathy, antidoting refers to substances or actions believed to neutralize a remedy's effects: Coffee is said to be antidoting my treatment.

More broadly, anything that counteracts or neutralizes: She kept antidoting his pessimism with cheerful observations.
