Properties of Homeopathic Remedies

Abstract

This study examines the principles of homeopathic remedy preparation, with a focus on the role of potentization. Potentization, involving sequential dilution and agitation, is hypothesized to be a critical step that differentiates the final remedy from the starting material. The central claim is that this process transforms the substance from a material agent into a molecular configuration with information-carrying capacity, purportedly enabling holistic biological effects. Additionally, the manuscript catalogues the wide spectrum of remedy potencies employed clinically, compares their negligible (empty) molecular content to conventional drug doses, and critically assesses the ongoing debate regarding their mechanism of action, particularly in relation to placebo responses.
