    Homeopathy is old, but like, not even that old. It was invented in 1796. It’s younger than the united states, and was invented while France was doing their first revolution. They like to frame it as ancient wisdom rather than some German in the late 18th century took one idea off Paracelsus way too far, then retooled it until it stopped actively doing harm (because it did nothing) and came up with some bs to explain why it “works”
