Natrum Mur; this is salt (NaCl).
Aurum Met; this is gold metal.
Arsenic Album; this is arsenic trioxide,
Baryta Carb; this is barium carbonate.
Do you think that using somewhat pretentious Latin-sounding words is a key part of homeopathy?

Like cures Like = Homeopathy
I don't know the science but one site talked about Greek origin and I could not open it to post it and I'll try again later.
Homeopathy: Like Cures Like - Simple Medicine
I've used homeopathic remedies for some yrs -- off and on -- but recently my daughter brought me an HGH Homeopathic Gel that she is finding unbelievable in so many parts of one's body, anti aging, pain, skin etc etc etc..so I'm trying it and into my 4th day and already feeling a shift in the OA pain I deal with, damaged joints and then add the advanced aging with wear and tear. So I've renewed my interest in homeopathics and hence finding more things to discuss.
If something helps and works I don't question the science too much. Just so it's not hurting me and homeopathics are pretty darn safe and affordable.
