How do the homeopathic remedies work?

The remedy acts as an energetic disease state that is slightly stronger than the symptoms. In the primary reaction, the remedy matches the disease state of the individual, though slightly stronger by its potency. In the secondary reaction, the remedy does the complete opposite of its original symptoms. An example of this process is the energy pattern of coffee. When first consumed, the caffeine perks you up, but then later it leaves you more tired and sluggish.
