Fails Hahnemann's definition, yes.
But as to the law of similars, that will have been used to arrive at
the *choices* of remedies included.

It is a *fact* that they often help, especially (and presumably only?)
*if* the combo includes a remedy that is indeed homeopathic to the case.

We have two considerations:
(a) is the process of using combos itself "homeopathy, as per
Hahnemann's definition"?
No, it isn't -- because he excluded them, in his chosen definition.

and
(b) Does the process of choosing and/or formulating a combination
homeopathic remedy employ principles of homeopathy? (I'll stick with
best-case scenario for the moment.)
Yes, it does (can)--symptom similarity between the case *and the
single remedies chosen*.
