At a glance

Mechanism of action

Classical homeopathy is based on the principle of 'like cures like,' where substances that produce symptoms similar to a disease are administered in extreme dilutions. The mechanism is not established by conventional pharmacology; homeopathic theory posits that serial dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking) impart a 'memory' to water or other vehicles that triggers healing responses. This approach lacks robust mechanistic validation in modern molecular pharmacology.
