Why Does Homeopathy Work? Homeopathy works much the same was as nano-technology. Nanotechnology seeks to change the properties of a substance through extreme reduction is size. You are probably aware of ultra-small technology... think of the microchip, nanobots, atomic particles such as neurons, and quantummechanical photons. Nano technology uses super fine ground powders. They potentialized which is means they are bombarded with neutrons to peel off substances and so reduce its size and change the properties. Nanostructures are found in nature in seashells, skeletons, smoke, and volcanic action, to name a few. Homeopathy is ultra small doses of natural substances. Remedies are potentialized to reduce their size and change their properties. Just as nanotechnology discovers new properties in matter, Homeopathy has been making those same discoveries for the past two hundred years.
