"Like cures like"

This means a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can be used in very small amounts to treat similar symptoms in a sick person.
For example, if drinking coffee makes someone feel restless, a very diluted form of coffee might be used to treat insomnia.

2. Law of minimum dose

Homeopathic remedies are extremely diluted—often so much that no molecules of the original substance remain. The idea is that the more diluted a substance is, the more potent it becomes, especially when it's shaken in a specific way (a process called succussion).

Homeopathic remedies:

• Are usually made from plants, minerals, or animal products.

• Come in the form of small pills, liquids, or creams.

• Are personalized homeopaths often choose remedies based on the whole person, not just the disease.

Is it scientifically proven?

• Scientific support: Limited. Most scientific studies show that homeopathy works no better than a placebo.

• Popularity: Still widely used in countries like India, Germany, and the UK, often alongside conventional medicine.
