Homeostasis comes from the Greek homoios , which means becoming like, and stasis , which means to stand. It represents a physiological balance. Our bodies use symptoms to regain balance. For example, our body produces a fever in order to kill invading pathogens. The fever is the body’s attempt to regain homeostasis, or balance.
