Homoeopathy relies on a special set of rules for dosing that set it apart from conventional medicine as an important component of treatment.

The potency, quantity, and form of the drug, as well as its repetition, are all parts of the homoeopathic dose. It is either always a sub-pathogenetic or sub-physiological dose. This dose is so small that it just alleviates current symptoms rather than causing pathogenetic ones. The finding of the opposing effects of high and small dosages of medicine served as the foundation for the homoeopathic concept of dose, just like the law of cure.

The goal of homoeopathic disease treatment is to eliminate symptoms rather than to induce them. It is feasible to accomplish this directly without causing symptoms by using a similar medication in the smallest dose.
