Mechanism of action
Homoeopathy is based on the doctrine of 'like cures like' and the concept of potentization through serial dilution and succussion. Practitioners believe that infinitesimal doses of substances that would produce symptoms similar to the disease in a healthy person can trigger the body's vital force to heal itself. However, the mechanism lacks scientific validation and is not supported by conventional pharmacology or evidence-based medicine.
