I am not so sure about its magic. Especially after reading how diluted they are (sometimes even a single molecule of active substance is not found in homeopathic dilutions).

Yeah, so what? Homeopathics don't work in a pharmaceutical mechanism.
The point is that they work. You can't tell someone who was obviously helped by a homeopathic that it is just a placebo effect just because homeopathy doesn't fit into your worldview.
Have you ever gone to see a homeopath? Or studied homeopathy?
I did look into principles of homeopathy, because I always double check all prescriptions to me and my family. I was shocked that there were no studies confirming their effect, that mood of pharmacist who makes homeopathic substance influences product quality, that homeopathic product follows principle of substance "memory", though simple tap water has "memory" of all possible substances in the world.
But I never dismiss power of human belief. So I allow homeopathics to be bought to family members who believe in them.
There is plenty of evidence of homeopathics being effective. You just have to look in the right place. Also depends on what you call a study. Homeopathic provings are technically all phase 1 clinical trials. Usually done on a small scale.
