Like, seriously. The tenets on which this "medical" "modality" are based are straight-up prescientific grimoire shit. The basic foundation, "like cures like," is the kind of nonsense thinking behind voodoo dolls: something that is like a thing is the thing itself, therefore it can affect the thing. (Or something.)
With voodoo dolls, the idea is to poke the doll and thus cause pain to the person. In homeopathy, the idea is that if you have insomnia, you need caffeine. Because it causes wakefulness, therefore it can also cure it.
Yes, seriously.
But see, you have to dilute it in water by approximately 100,000x (also seriously) while simultaneously shaking it in just the right way and beating the solution against just the right kind of horsehide (also also seriously) to make it work. By the time you're done, the water "remembers" the effect of the magical substance you put in it, even though it's diluted to the point where there's not even a single molecule of it left.
See? Fucking magic. And, well, every single well designed scientific trial of homeopathy has shown that, surprise surprise, it does absolutely fucking nothing.
And yet the FDA treats homeopathic "remedies" as legit medications. Until, hopefully, now.
