How does placebo effect work?
I don't know dude.
Alright.
I'll explain.
Placebo in Latin means 'I shall please' and this is what placebos do.
Placebos are inactive sugar pills, injections, etc., that look like real medications or treatments.
In most cases, they relieve pain and make us feel better, even though they are not actual medicines.
This effect of placebos on our body is called the placebo effect.
Now, one of the reasons why placebos are effective is that when we take them.
Our mind perceives placebos as real medications.
Hence, our brain reacts to the placebo in a manner which is similar to when we take real medications.
Thus, our brain releases natural painkillers like endorphins that help relieve pain.
In addition to this, it also decreases the production of stress hormones, thus making us feel better.
