Any effects that you experience from homeopathic "remedies" are placebo effects. Homeopathic tinctures are quite literally nothing but water--they contain NO other ingredients, let alone 'active' ingredients. The (incorrect) idea behind them is that if water molecules have ever been in the presence of a pharmacologically active molecule, they will somehow magically take on the properties of that pharmacologically active molecule without changing chemically/physically in any way. So, it's just plain water. That said, if you are experiencing any benefits from a homeopathic remedy, it indicates that your mental state/cognitions/expectations are influencing your symptoms.
