Placebo

Placebo is a word that may seem unfamiliar to many of us. It is used in medicine and refers to a substance or object that has no therapeutic value, but still leads to positive health results for the patient. The main idea behind using a placebo is to confirm and test the effect of a treatment. But how exactly does a placebo work and does it work for us?

Placebo treatment is a process in which the patient is assured that he is receiving medical treatment, despite the fact that no medical treatment is actually being given to him. The purpose of placebo treatment is to test and prove the effectiveness of drugs and treatments. And placebo results can be amazing! In some cases, the placebo effect can be as good as the actual treatment. This happens because people believe that they are getting the therapy they want.

What is a placebo? A substance that does nothing, or a treatment method that does not affect the body in any way, but has a healing effect? It turned out that a placebo produces a therapeutic effect primarily due to faith and the desire to get what you want.

Experiments show that when a person believes in a medicine, his body begins to produce more endogenous morphine-like substances (the brain works with increased activity), he becomes less susceptible to pain
