The Placebo Effect And The Power Of The Mind To Heal
To better understand the power of the mind to heal the body or itself, we must first take a look at what we know about the placebo effect.
A placebo (pluh-see-bow) is a substance or other kind of treatment that looks just like a regular treatment or medicine, but it is not. It is actually an inactive "look-alike" treatment or substance. This means that it is not a medicine. The person who is getting a placebo does not know he or she is getting one. Sometimes the placebo is in the form of a "sugar pill," but a placebo can also be an injection, a liquid, a procedure, or any other type of therapy that doesn't directly affect the illness being treated.Categories: Self Healing Tags: nocebo effect, placebo, placebo effect, power of the mind, spontaneous healing, subconscious mind, therapy
