As both considered as complementary and alternative Medicine, Chinese Medicine and Homeopathy are totally different.
Chinese Medicine is built on a foundation of more than 2,500 years of Chinese medical practice that includes various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture, massage (tui na), exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy. Even though Chinese Medicine uses animal product, but the theory is totally different from homeopathy.
Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, based on his doctrine of like cures like. Nosodes are homeopathic preparations made from bodily tissues and fluids (including faeces, blood, pus, discharges, and saliva) taken from patients suffering from a disease (e.g. measles, anthrax, tuberculosis).
In China, there are some folk medicine practiced in the similar theory of Homeopathy. However, they are more superstitious, not the Chinese Medicine.
