ABSTRACT
We, all homoeopaths know it very well that even after having lot’s of recorded evidence-based clinical case reports, case series, research papers about evidence of the dynamic action of Homoeopathic remedy, we get the statements from various sources that there’s no good-quality evidence that homoeopathy is an effective treatment for different kind of health conditions, they claim there is no clear & proved evidence how homeopathic remedy acts on human body. So here in this article a strong reply is given to the criticisers & non-believers of Homoeopathy about the mechanism of homeopathic remedy by correlating various modern research study papers as well as
some evidence based clinical cases has been shown to encourage the readers for better application of the Homeopathic Remedy.

INTRODUCTION [1]
Homeopathy, also known as homeopathic medicine, is a medical system that was developed in Germany more than 267 years ago. It’s based on two unconventional theories:
▪ “Like cures like”—the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people.
▪ “Law of minimum dose”—the notion that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness. Many homeopathic products are so diluted that no molecules of the original substance remain.
Homeopathic products come from plants (such as red onion, arnica [mountain herb], poison ivy, belladonna [deadly nightshade], and stinging nettle), minerals (such as white arsenic), or animals (such as crushed whole bees). Homeopathic products are often made as sugar pellets to be placed under the tongue; they may also be in other forms, such as ointments, gels, drops, creams, and tablets. Treatments are “Individualized” or tailored to each person—it’s common for different people with the same condition to receive different treatments.
Homeopathy uses a different diagnostic system for assigning treatments to individuals and recognizes clinical patterns of signs
and symptoms that are different from those of conventional medicine.Homoeopathy is based on the philosophy of treating the whole person based on mind, body and life force relationship. In this concept, health is considered a perfect state of harmony of functions in mind-body-life force and illness is often the result of disharmony. [1]
