A placebo is a substance containing no medication and prescribed or given to reinforce a patient's expectation to get well. A patient's belief in a pill is thought to activate their body's healing powers.The placebo effect is a wonderful presentation of the power of our minds and our belief systems. It proves that our thoughts may actually interact with the brain in a physical way.
eMedExpert Blog has looked through scientific research and found a number of quite interesting data about placebos that have been published in the medical literature.
