That kind of dilution is typically called a "tincture" - and actually,
going though immunotherapy myself for allergies, the principles are not
entirely dissimilar between a so-called "homeopathic" tincture and
immunotherapy. At the same time, there are also notable differences
(like immunotherapy is a shot, not something you drink/place under your
tongue, whatever).
I've always thought of homeopathic remedies, though, as being more a
matter of the application of a placebo effect more than anything.
