thread over
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.
