well this is a curious little question, isn't it?
if these remedies are indulged for nuisance things and they help, then who's to say they don't work?
what does "working" mean in such a situation?
and if they work in your mom's view, why would you think of this as necessarily a placebo effect?
i don't have a particular position on the question itself--i mean i don't particularly have a position on homeopathic approaches one way or another in general...and i suspect that these questions have already come up, but within different frameworks (i read through the thread earlier so don't remember exactly)
