The Placebo Effect

The placebo effect is a positive health outcome resulting from a person’s anticipation that a particular technique or therapy will help.
 
There are different ways that a placebo effect may support your health and wellness goals…
 
  1. The health care provider interacts with the patient in a manner that brings about this type of positive response.
  2. The patient’s belief system allows for, and supports, an expectation and manifestation of a successful outcome.
Read more about research related to the placebo effect, including the results of studies supported by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH).
 
For an interesting discussion of the placebo effect, explaining in more detail, take a look at Professor Ted Kaptchuk’s (Harvard Medical School) video for the NCCIH Know the Science initiative. This discussion of the placebo effect and the benefits of supportive interactions between a provider and patient can influence the patient’s response to treatment will help you recognize the many ways that holistic products, services, and specialties can help you in your healing and wellness journey.
