Homeopathy is deeply unethical
The method of invoking the water memory is exceptionally problematic. The water had been in *terrible* places. It witnessed... things... It carries an incomprehensible levels of trauma.
And you invoke it to what? To cure a cold what would pass by itself in a few days? How dare you!

There have been a number of theories about homeopathy. Water memory is one of them.
I think it's placebo, but it might be a sort of advanced placebo.
For context, placebo is used medically not only to assuage patients but the cure actual diseases.
Don't underestimate placebo.
Research on homeopathy has been plagued by confirmation biases to either prove or disprove.
The instance I know of a replicated double blind study of homeopathy is on fibromyalgia, so pure psychosomatics.
