It's counterculture. It's literally all that's in it.
A guy in 1796 invented it when we knew little about medicine. He figured "like cures like" (hence the Greek term homeopathy). He decided diseases are caused by miasms and could be treated with a substance that caused the same symptoms. People got sicker so he decided diluting these things would work. They are now so diluted that none of the original substance (not even a molecule) is left. However, because they've tapped the beaker on a leather bound book before each dilution, it's amplified the memory of the substance.
I made none of that up
