Homeopathic beliefs have no standard theory; practitioners vary widely in their prescriptions. No known scientific pathway for the medicines exists, and the theory defies all known physics, biology, and chemistry, particularly as the medicines consist of arbitrary substances diluted to the point where the mixture is entirely water or ethanol.

#Law of similars-this posits that introducing an agent or disease producing similar symptoms as those of the patient will cure the patient<ref>http://altmed.creighton.edu/Homeopathy/history.htm</ref>
#Potentisation- potentisation refers to the belief that the more a substance is diluted, the more powerful it becomes.<ref>Kayne SB (2006), Homeopathic pharmacy: theory and practice (2 ed.), Elsevier Health Sciences, pp. 53, ISBN 9780443101601.</ref>
Homeopathic remedies involve treating an illness with an infinitesimally small dose of a substance that, at bigger doses, can cause symptoms that are like those of the illness (treating 'like with like'). Homeopaths believe that the 'potency' of a remedy can be increased by serial dilutions (repetitively adding water or alcohol) combined with vigorous shaking, to the point where little or none of the original solution remains as part of the final prepared remedy.
