No, I did read what you typed. You are confusing terms and honestly most people do it (which was the point of my post).
This Witch Hazel product at CVS is not homeopathic.[1] This is a normal Witch Hazel supplement that is pure distilled Witch Hazel. This is not homeopathic.
Most people think 'homeopathic' just means 'natural supplements/alternative medicines'.
That IS NOT what it is. Homeopathy is a specific 'ritual' that is done where the compound that 'causes illness' is diluted many, many, many times until there is effectively none of it left in the bottle. It is psuedoscience AND IT IS NOT NATURAL MEDICINE. [2]
It matters to understand this, because the homeopathic industry obviously uses this confusion to their advantage.
