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.
