Background: Homeopathy is a two-century old factual system of healing. It was conceived by a German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. The substance that reasons signs and symptoms of a disorder in healthy humans can cure alike symptoms in ill humans; this principle is known as similia similibus curentur, or "like cures like". The sources of homoeopathic medicines are herbs, animal or animal products, minerals, diseased tissues, healthy tissues and imponderables (energy sources) and are prepared through potentization, serial dilutions are performed with strong strokes at each step of dilution.

Aim: To investigate the nanoscience mechanisms of action of homeopathic medicine Calcarea carb (CaCO₃) and Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum).

Conclusion: As per article “Homoeopathy emerging as nanomedicine” homoeopathy can be represented as nanomedicine with further research. During the violent strokes of potentization, information arising from the serially diluted starting-substance can be encrypt by nanoparticles present in the resulting homeopathic medicine. The size of the information encrypted on nanoparticles might differ with the degree of dilution. Homeopathic medicines exhibit healing effects, these nanoparticles might carry the information - which biological systems are able to identify - to the target. As numerous kinds of debris are recognized to have interaction with proteins and cells of the immune machine, homeopathy would possibly constitute a nanomedicine machine.
