The basic principle of homeopathy,known as the "law of similars",is "let like be cured by like." It was first stated by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. His "law of similars" is taken on his word^[8] as an unproven assertion,and is not a true law of naturebased on the scientific method.^[9] Homeopathic remedies are prepared by serial dilutionwith shaking by forceful striking on an elastic body,which homeopaths term succussion. Each dilution followed by succussion is assumed to increase the effectiveness. Homeopaths call this process potentization. Dilution often continues until none of the original substance remains.^[10] Apart from the symptoms,homeopaths examine aspects of the patient's physical and psychological state,^[11] then homeopathic reference books known as repertories are consulted,and a remedy is selected based on the totality of symptoms.

The success of homeopathic medicine depends on the situation and how closely homeopathic rules are followed. In addition,for the most part,the duration of the healing process is proportional to the duration of your ailment. A chronic condition can be cured effectively,but not overnight.
