Homeostasis is a great concept for how homeopathy works inside us. 'Homeo' being 'same' and 'stasis' being 'standing', the term means 'tendency toward a state of equilibrium'. Our bodies are in a constant state of flux - a series of actions and counteractions to every stress life presents. The right homeopathic remedy at the right potency can provide the force we need to swing the pendulum just the right way.

In his book, The Organon '66, Hahnemann describes it: "To be sure, all of these potencies, in small doses, bring forth an initial action that is perceptible with due attention, but the living organism produces, in return, only as much counter-action as is required for the restoration of the normal state."
