I recently had a discussion about homeopathy with one of its proponents and hit the brick wall of "I know that it works but not how. Some things are unexplainable".
I tried to argue that even if something was yet unexplained of how it would work, we would at least be able to measure if it was working at all. Even if we did not know how antibiotics worked, they would beat the placebo effect nonetheless in a double blind study.
This got me thinking: Is there a current example of real medicine of which we know that it works but not yet how?
