Isn’t the rule that if it’s really homeopathic then it won’t do anything and if it really does it’s a medicine?
Not quite. I don’t know anything about the labeling on the particular product you used, but homeopathy is a magical process and not a chemical one. It relies on the theories that “like cures like” and that “water has a memory”. A homeopathic remedy for a cold might use black pepper since it makes you sneeze, and then a tiny bit is added to water, and then that water is shaken to make it magical and diluted 50%. The shaking and diluting is allegedly performed tens or hundreds of times, because in homeopathy the LESS “active” ingredient there is, the stronger it is.
You’re correct that an herbal or other traditional remedy becomes medicine once it’s proven. However homeopathy has been conclusively disproven, and in fact never proven to work better than placebo (because that’s all it is - there’s intentionally nothing actually in it)
