摘要: The homeopathic mode of treatment often encourages use drugs at such ultra-low doses and high dilutions that even the physical existence a single molecule original drug substance becomes theoretically impossible. But homeopathy has sustained for over two hundred years despite periodical challenges thrown by scientists non-believers regarding its scientificity. There been spurt research activities on in recent years, clinical, physical, chemical, biological medical levels with acceptable scientific norms approach. While clinical effects some could be convincingly shown, one greatest objections to this science lies inability explain mechanism action microdoses based experimentations proofs. Though many aspects still remain unclear, serious efforts have now made understand molecular mechanism(s) responses potentized form drugs. In communication, an overview interesting works presented due emphasis state information presently available several
