How does it work?
'Like cures like '
When a healthy person is exposed to these substances, they may cause certain symptoms, and it is these symptoms that a homeopathic remedy made from the same material can be used to help in an ill person.
The clearest way to show this is through example: when cutting an onion most of us will experience stinging, watery eyes and a runny nose. These are also classic symptoms of hay fever, and the remedy Alium Cepa, which is made from onion, is often used by homeopaths to help hay fever sufferers.
