A substance gets diluted with a neutral carrier substance. The latter can be water or sometimes milk sugar. The relations are usually 1:10 (D), 1:100 (C) or 1:50000 (LM). The diluting is followed by a step of mixing. This can be "succussion" (shaking)<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Homeopathy|url=https://www.uptodate.com/contents/homeopathy|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=11 November 2021|website=UpToDate}}</ref>, hammering the vial on a soft surface or another process depending on the branch of homeopathy or the degree of dilution or the diluent.

The process is sometimes called dynamisation.[[Datei:Globuli 03.jpg|alt=Globuli (Quelle: Wikimedia commons)|thumbnail|Globuli|link=https://de.imedwiki.org/wiki/Datei:Globuli_03.jpg]]The resulting solution is most commonly applied to a sucrose pill (globuli) and administered sublingually.<ref name=":0" />

At a certain degree of dilution it gets less and less probable that a single molecule of the original substance could be found in the remedy. This is a major point of criticism as the usual pharmaceutical model is based on molecular interaction.
