Homeopathy is part of what is called alternative medicine.
The reasoning for how it worked certainly sounds farfetched but we now know why it works - at least on some people. The process for making a homeopathic preparation include vigorous shaking which was and is done on a machine. It turns out what they were actually doing was nano-sizing the particles. Nano-sized particles of anything are taken up more easily than the large particles. They even found particles of the glass container in the preparations.
Nano-sizing is an easy process that you can do at home. Some people use a sonic cleaner to nano-size their vitamin C supplements for greater uptake. Of course you must use extreme caution to make sure there are no contaminants in the cleaner or the vitamin C as those would be nano-sized too.
