How does homeopathy work?

Homeopathy is based on the principle of "like cures like," which means that a substance that causes certain symptoms in a healthy person can cure similar symptoms in an ill person. Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances, such as plants, animals, and minerals, and are prepared through a process of dilution and succussion (a process of vigorous shaking). These remedies are believed to stimulate the body’s own healing response, helping it to restore balance and health.
