The placebo effect can only do so much. When people start suggesting homeopathic medicine for cancer or pneumonia, they need to stop talking.
Wouldn't your mother be better off doing something about her medical issues that actually works because it works? Thinking away sneezing can't stop the release of histamines as a response to exposure to an allergen. I mean there are alternatives to Benadryl or Claritin, like local honey or air filters, but the placebo effect is really only relative.
Put me under the "tell her the truth" option.
