homeopathic cure
Water-based healing claim
A homeopathic cure is a treatment based on homeopathy—a system claiming that diseases can be treated with extremely diluted substances that would cause similar symptoms in healthy people.
The dilutions are often so extreme that no molecules of the original substance remain, which is why mainstream medicine considers homeopathy pseudoscience.
The phrase sometimes appears sarcastically for any ineffective remedy: Thoughts and prayers are the homeopathic cure for gun violence.
