A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Yeah those are definitely allopathic medicine, as I understand it. Any kind of anti-inflammatory in response to inflammation, an ice pack on the head in response to a fever, drugs to reduce blood pressure in response to high blood pressure, most medicine is allopathic. I could be totally wrong about that it’s been 20 years since I learned that definition I think.
I’d say among other homeopathic remedies are exposure therapy, and weights or unstable platforms used in physical therapy. You treat a disease by giving the person little bits of that disease to target and fight against, to enhance the fight against the main disease.
