How to offer a homeopathic remedy
To someone unversed?
It’s not a drug,
Since there’s no chemistry involved,
Though it often acts more strongly.
It’s not a balm,
Since there’s no oil or lotion,
Though it often offers relief, comfort, succor.
It’s not exactly a treatment,
Which sounds long-term and vaguely threatening.
I’m offering a sugar pellet. “Treatment” sounds wrong.
It is a remedy,
A treatment.
Maybe the better word will yet come.
