Actually, they do. Most homeopathic remedies are just dilute herbal remedies-- note that it's fairly rare for homeopathic remedies to be "strong" (i.e., weakly diluted) enough to be completely inert.
In other words, much of the time, what you are getting when you buy a homeopathic remedy at the local pharmacy is actually just an incredibly weak herbal preparation.

The latter may be woolly and untested feelgood hippy claptrap, but it's a lot less theoretically incoherent.
