2. In Homœopathy, all medicines look same in size and colour, Are they same?
No, these white pills are only medium or vehicle for medicine. Actual medicine is the dilution, from which few drops are added into white pills. They are chosen according to the requirement of every person. White pills are used to lessen the bitterness of Homœopathic medicines.
3. Can these small pills be effective to treat the disease?
Of course, they can do. Because every particle is converted into small particle and every small particle has more energy than the previous state. Homeopathy works on the basis of this principle.
