youre confusing homeopathic with herbal. herbal substances (like salicylic acid, which youre referring to) are biologically active. homeopathic medicine is different in that homeopathy believes youre supposed to take biologically active substances that cause disease and then dilute them so much so that there is not a single molecule left of the original substance and all you have is water, but the water has been fundamentally changed, and now its magic water that can cure you.

tolerance through exposure doesn't work?
If you have an allergy to peanuts, and expose yourself to a small minuscule amount of peanuts and gradually increase that exposure over time, in some cases you can actually rid yourself of that allergy entirely
but if everyone did that they wouldn't be spending billions of dollars a year on allergy meds, now would they

"The alternative medical system of homeopathy was developed in Germany at the end of the 18th century. Supporters of homeopathy point to two unconventional theories: “like cures like”—the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people; and “law of minimum dose”—the notion that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness. Many homeopathic remedies are so diluted that no molecules of the original substance remain."
those two "theories" are the cornerstones of homeopathy, and are what set it apart from "traditional" medicine (which is to say, herbal). herbal medicine has no such rule as "like cures like", which is why iirc one of the homeopathic remedies for hay fever is """"diluted pollen"""". herbal substances are not diluted to such a point that they are not biologically active in the body, which again, homeopathic substances are. youre the one whos spazzing out, youre the one who has no idea what theyre talking about, youre the one wasting their money.

heres an easier to understand difference:
Herbal: hypothetical retard has a mild infection - a boil. I will apply some tea tree oil to the boil, because I know tea tree oil has antisepti properties against spatholoccocus aureus bacteria, and while I'm not certain that it is safe or effective in humans, I know that in the laboratory it has a long tradition as an antiseptic agent. It might not work, but I know tea tree oil does something to my body - when applied, it will create a red ring around the boil, which is contact dermatitis. My body reacted to a substance. Since I'm a retard who prefers herbal medicine to actual medicine, when my boil drains, I will attribute it to the tea tree oil, but at the very least I know what I applied had some sort of affect on my body.
Homeopathic: I have a boil, and so I will find a substance that causes similar symtpoms to boils. In this case, I choose Arsenic, a common homeopathic boil "treatment". When I purchase it in homeopathic form, it will be so diluted that it will do absolutely nothing to my body. It will be the same as applying water. There will be no side effects, although I might experience minute pain alleviation because of the placebo effect, but there will also be no treatment. The boil will likely drain and go away on its own, and I will think that this magical homeopathic remedy did something to fix me, when in reality my disease was just self-limiting.
Both are retards, but they are different kinds of retards.
