Jokes about homeopathy aside, if you can answer your own question, there's probably a Nobel prize in it for you. Mind/body interactions are incredibly complex and as yet pretty poorly understood.

There are some known ways to take advantage of similar effects--for instance, helping patients find ways to lower stress as a means of mitigating risk factors like high blood pressure.

Same here in the US, they even put them in the pharmacy :(

I remember one time I needed eyedrops. They were only listed as homeopathic in tiny print and were adjacent to real eyedrops in the pharmacy, so it was a bit hard to read them with my allergies going.

And I've tried washing my eyes with water, but it's not as effective as real eyedrops. Moreover, these contained "aspis", allegedly some extract from bees, which I might be allergic to. One would hope that they'd diluted it enough, but it actually listed a fairly low dilution factor so I couldn't even be sure the damned things weren't harmful.
