As the name suggests, homeopathy covers a range of medical treatments which utilise items commonly found in the home to alleviate or even cure a wide variety of ailments and conditions.
These include
Stapling cork coasters to warts
Bathing in broccoli puree to alleviate bronchial irritation
Hanging paperweights from your eyelids to counter insomnia
Ironing shingles
Attaching teapots to your elbows to improve fertility
Eating a sideboard to cure leprosy
Filling your socks with baking beans to treat loose smut
Wearing a hat of stopcocks to prevent swayback, hookworm and dandy fever
Tiling your upper body to ensure immortality.
Enthusiastic advocates of homeopathy include Gwyneth Paltrow, Tony Blair and Prince Charles, who cured his wife by standing her in a crate of sea salt for six months.
