Has anyone used these before? Thoughts? I did for the first time tonight and LO fell asleep shortly after....and I'm not sure how I feel about that since I've heard mix reviews even though its homeopathic. We've done baby orajel and it helps, but LO seems like hes hating teething so much. His entire hand practically is always in his mouth and he'll wake up out of a dead sleep hysterical at times.

Homeopathy doesn't mean "natural." Homeopathy is a belief that things can be cured by the "laws of dilution" - when drugs are diluted into minuscule amounts with the thought that the more diluted a substance is, the more potent the water. They also use "laws of similars," where they believe substances that cause similar symptoms can cure diseases. For example, some homeopaths believe you can use diluted rattlesnake venom to treat Ebola symptoms since both cause similar hemorrhagic symptoms.
Most homeopathic remedies contain little if any actual "active ingredient." However, you can never be certain exactly how much since they are totally unregulated. (These tablets have been voluntarily recalled and "reformulated" before.). Any effects from "treatments" can generally be attributed to the placebo effect.
tl/dr version: avoid homeopathy
