Are homeopathic pills really just made of sugar? How do they contain medicine?

Clinical Answer:

The small white pills themselves are made of sucrose or lactose and act purely as a neutral carrier. The actual medicine is a potentized liquid tincture, prepared from natural plant, mineral, or biological substances, which is poured over these pills and allowed to dry before dispensing. The pill is not the medicine; it is simply the vehicle that delivers the remedy in a convenient, palatable form, which is why children find them easy to take.
