What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy as defined by Hippocrates “treatment by similar things” was a well-established medicine in 400 B.C. which proclaimed: “By similar things a disease is produced and through the application of the like is cured”.
A sick person is given a “diluted” substance to treat him or her, whereas in a healthy person, the same substance at a “normal” dose would give the same symptoms as those observed in the sick person.
FROM HIPPOCRATES TO HAHNEMANN
Homeopathy consists of using different substances in very low concentrations (dilutions) in order to stimulate the body’s vital energy and its self-regulating capacity to help it regain a better balance and thus better health.
The founder of homeopathy was a German physician: Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843).
Hahnemann tested cinchona bark on him. This bark is known to reduce fever, especially that caused by malaria. He found that it gave him the same symptoms as if he had a fever.
He will thus test different substances on himself and his entourage, arsenic, belladonna, aconite, mercury… He will take into account the effects observed only when they are repeated identically in a sufficient number of .
people.
A few years later, he affirmed that there is indeed a principle of similarity: “to radically cure certain chronic affections, one must seek remedies which usually cause in the human organism a similar and as similar as possible disease”.
THE LAW OF SIMILITUDE
It is this principle that gave its name to homeopathy, a word derived from the Greek homeo “similar” and pathos “disease or suffering”.
Similiasimilibuscurentur: the similar heals the similar. This principle, which dates back to Hippocrates, states that a substance that causes several symptoms in a healthy person can cure a sick person who has the same group of symptoms.
THE PROCESS OF HIGH DILUTIONS
According to this foundation, the dilution of a remedy enhances the healing effects.
Homeopathic drugs are diluted several times in a mixture of water and alcohol. Between successive dilutions, the medicine is given a series of shakes.

How does it work?
A substance whose effect is very similar to the symptoms of the disease will have a curative effect at low doses.
For example, Arsenicum Album, which is the diluted form of arsenic, can treat food poisoning with diarrhea and vomiting.
Homeopathic drugs (approved by Health Canada) are available in different dilutions. These drugs are given in very diluted doses to avoid the risk of intoxication.
You can draw your own conclusions about the effectiveness of homeopathy by consulting these two reports with opposite conclusions, the Swiss and Australian reports. :

The benefits of homeopathy
Homeopathy to treat a cold, a flu or a viral illness
As for the common cold, there are several homeopathic remedies depending on the disorders and their characteristics. For example, Nuxvomica 5CH is recommended for blocked nose and sneezing, Cinamaritima 5CH is indicated for itchy nose, Allium cepa 4CH for runny nose without irritation etc. As for hay fever, homeopathy helps to limit the use of drugs and reduce the symptoms of fever.
Homeopathy for better sleep
The results of three studies revealed beneficial effects of homeopathy on the participants’ severe insomnia with an improvement in sleep duration, latency and quality of sleep. However, these effects were no greater than a placebo effect. The results of another study showed an increase in sleep time for the homeopathy groups compared to the placebo groups, with an improvement in the quality of sleep and a reduction in the number of significant awakenings for both groups (see references below).
