Homeopathic remedies are a popular form of alternative therapy, which works by treating an illness with a substance that causes those symptoms to appear with someone who does not have the same illness, which is termed the 'law of similars' whereby like cures like. The advantage of homeopathic remedies is that they are safer than conventional treatments because they are diluted to a level that is non toxic. It is a traditional form of alternative medicine in many countries and is available in the UK in the National Health Service and the public health service of many other countries. Some conventional medicines have even been derived from homeopathy such as the use of nitroglycerin to treat angina.
In order for a homeopathic remedy not to increase the symptoms of an ill person, the substance has to be diluted with water.
A homeopath can determine which remedy to use for an illness either by a lengthly diagnostic process of 'proving' or by looking at a homeopathic repertory containing a list of symptoms and the remedies that are used for them. The substances that are used in the preparation include plants such as poison ivy and minerals such as salt.
Some complementary alternative remedies are similar to homeopathic medicine, such as Bach flower remedies, which use some of the plants found in homeopathic products but are prepared differently by placing the plant extract in water and exposing them to sunlight.

Homeopathic remedies are generally considered safe, with rare exceptions. As homeopathic remedies usually contain only water and alcohol, they are thought to be generally safe. Only in rare cases are the original ingredients present at detectable levels.
