Homeopathy is a system of medicine developed in Germany in the late 1700s by Samuel Hahnemann. Remedies are made from plant, mineral or animal substances that are diluted many times and shaken between steps. Homeopaths follow a principle they call 'similars'. Scientific reviews, including a major NHMRC review in 2015, have not found evidence that homeopathy works better than placebo. This page describes how remedies are made and traditionally used.

The science behind it
Homeopathic remedies are made by a process called potentisation. A starting substance is diluted in water or alcohol, then shaken vigorously. A 'C' potency such as 30C means a 1 in 100 dilution repeated 30 times. At this level, the original substance is not present in the final product.
Homeopathy rests on two ideas. The first is 'similars': a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person is said to relieve like symptoms when highly diluted. The second is that dilution and shaking increase a remedy's strength. Neither idea is consistent with accepted chemistry and physics, and no mechanism has been shown to explain how highly diluted remedies could work.
What the evidence shows. In 2015 the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) reviewed 225 studies and concluded there were no health conditions for which there was reliable evidence that homeopathy was effective. A 2005 analysis in The Lancet (Shang and colleagues) reached a similar conclusion. Placebo effects, natural recovery and the attention of a consultation can make people feel better, which may explain positive experiences.
Homeopathic products are generally very safe because of their dilution. The main risk is relying on a remedy in place of proven care.
The NHMRC advises that people should not delay effective treatment for serious conditions.

Common questions
Does homeopathy work?
Scientific reviews, including a 2015 NHMRC review, have not found reliable evidence that homeopathy works better than placebo. Some people enjoy using remedies, but they should not replace proven medical care.
What does 30C mean?
It means the substance has been diluted 1 in 100 thirty times. At this level, none of the original substance remains.
Are homeopathic remedies safe?
They are generally safe because of their dilution. The main concern is delaying proper care by relying on them.
What is the homeopathic principle of 'similars'?
It is the idea that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can relieve similar symptoms when highly diluted. This idea is not supported by scientific evidence.
Can children and pregnant women use homeopathic remedies?
They are generally considered low risk, but speak with your doctor or pharmacist first, especially for children or any ongoing symptoms.
How do I take homeopathic pellets?
Follow the label. They are usually dissolved under the tongue, and people often avoid eating or drinking for 15 minutes beforehand.
Safety
Homeopathic products are not a substitute for medical advice or proven treatment. See your doctor for any serious, persistent or worsening symptoms. Some tinctures contain alcohol, and pellets contain sugar or lactose, so check labels if relevant.
