💊The placebo effect (from the Latin word “to flatter, please”) has been known to medicine for several centuries. What does it mean? A placebo is a neutral drug (“dummy”) that is used as an imitation of a drug. Placebos usually contain harmless substances.

💊The placebo effect is the improvement in the physical condition due to the improvement in the psycho-emotional state due to the placebo. The basis for changing the patient's well-being is his conviction or belief that the remedy is working. This effect is based on biological mechanisms, not magical causes.

💊A placebo does not cure the disease, does not eliminate the cause, but only has a temporary psychotherapeutically conditioned effect, manifested in a short-term improvement in the subjective sensation of symptoms. This effect should not be abused and should not be used to treat diseases that require serious traditional protocol therapy.
