homoeopathic
Like cures like
Homoeopathic is the British spelling of homeopathic, relating to homeopathy—a system of alternative medicine based on treating ailments with highly diluted substances that would produce 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 pseudoscientific: homoeopathic remedies, homoeopathic practitioners.
Figuratively, homoeopathic describes anything present in negligible amounts: The budget contained only homoeopathic traces of arts funding.
