provings

Evidence from trials

Provings is the plural of proving, which names an act of testing or demonstrating something's validity.

In homeopathy, provings are systematic trials where healthy subjects take a substance to document its effects, which then guide its therapeutic use.

More generally, provings can refer to any demonstrations of worth or truth: The provings of his loyalty came through years of service.
