It is not true from the perspective of basic chemistry, and for that reason fails as a theory.
Herbal medicine and homeopathy and not the same. Herbal medicine may in fact work, though it may be dangerous if knowledge about herb in question is not complete. It is at least based on real things.
Homeopathy is not. It is horseshit 1000 times diluted and shaken.
Homeopathy at one time was better than real medicine because real medicine's roots come from dangerous bullshit, not just harmless bullshit like homeopathy.
It was a theory conceived during the time of the humor theory of medicine. In comparison, people who receive homeopathic treatments were better off.
Today this is not true, and not getting your animals to vets is a bad thing.
