    Not really. Homeopathy is diluting the offending substance with water until it is essentially gone while believing that the recently departed molecules had automagically imparted medicinal properties to the surrounding water molecules. It is quackery up there with ayylmaos and bigfoot enthusiasts.

      While you are right about the dilutions. The specific ingredients used are picked based off of the idea “like cures like”. So to cure a headache they would use an ingredient that causes headaches etc. Total quakery
