Re: PCOS & Homeopathy
Metformin is to counteract the pancreatic and metabolic issues that accompany PCOS. I have not used homeopathy (because it is ineffective and only a placebo). I use hormone replacement (as that is a primary symptom of PCOS that leads to the hirsutism -excessive hair you have described).
As for homeopathy, please refer to this.
Three potency scales are in regular use in homeopathy. Hahnemann created the centesimal or “C scale”, diluting a substance by a factor of 100 at each stage. The centesimal scale was favored by Hahnemann for most of his life. A 2C dilution requires a substance to be diluted to one part in one hundred, and then some of that diluted solution is diluted by a further factor of one hundred. This works out to one part of the original solution mixed into 9,999 parts (100 × 100 −1) of the diluent.[75]](Homeopathy - Wikipedia) A 6C dilution repeats this process six times, ending up with the original material diluted by a factor of 1,000,000,000,000. (100 × 100 × 100 × 100 × 100 × 100, or 1006). Higher dilutions follow the same pattern. In homeopathy, a solution that is more dilute is described as having a higher potency. Higher potencies (that is, more dilute substances) are considered by homeopaths to be stronger and deeper-acting remedies.

In other words, the LESS of an active substance in the drug (i.e. the more water), the more potent/strong they consider to be.
Don’t let them fool you, it’s crap.
