If you let the placebo effect count — and why wouldn't you? — it pretty surely will have some effect.
Even better, when combined with a consultation from a homoeopath, you're getting some informal counselling as well as a placebo. This is a pretty sweet combination, assuming you're not actually dying of something, and might keep you away from real pharmaceuticals with real side effects long enough to get better on your own.
(So my view is that homoeopathic remedies are very likely just sugar pills, but that it's far from clear we should be regulating them away on those grounds).
