Allopathy is a term used by American homeopaths, naturopaths, chiropractors and other advocates of alternative (or complementary) health practices to refer to conventional medicine.
My Random House Dictionary of the English Language (unabridged edition) defines allopathy as "the method of treating disease by the use of agents that produce effects different from those of the disease treated (opposed to homeopathy)." The word was invented by homeopath Samuel Hahnemann as a term for those who are other than homeopaths.
As a part of Integrative Healthcare, there is a place for allopathic therapy within the total approach to a person’s wellness, or the treating of a person’s wellness. Our clients will consult with their providers to decide together on what is the best course of action for each individual.
