The word "opotherapy" comes from the Greek word for juice and the Greek word
for treatment and was coined by Landouzy, who supposed the juice of organs,
or products contained in the juices, to have a therapeutic effect. Opotherapy
consists of using desiccated healthy animal tissues or their juices, or the
active principles extracted from them; they may be administered by the
gastrointestinal route or by injection. The idea of treating diseases with
extracts of animal organs is a very old one, and is based upon both tradition
and empirical observation.
