My grandmother is a homeopath.  I have never really understood what homeopathy is until now. Homeopathy or homeopathic medicine is a philosophy that the human body has the ability to heal itself instead of using normal medicines. Homeopathic medicine (also called a remedy) is a substance that has been highly diluted. Sometimes it can even be a substance that makes you sick. They take that substance make it into a pill or a liquid. It supposedly is effective and makes the person well again. You may be thinking, well if you're putting more of that substance in the body, it would make you more sick. But no the substance would cancel out each other. Making the person healthy again. There is so much more to homeopathy that i couldn't explain myself. So here is a link to my resource http://www.webmd.com/balance/guide/homeopathy-topic-overview
