I have always considered the placebo effect to be the sleeping giant of research and medical care. The placebo effect is essentially the meaning response that is induced by the context of treatment. The physiological, psychological, and clinical effects of this gives outstanding value to how people can heal. In this episode of #AskDrJonas, I explain what the placebo effect is and the benefits it brings to integrative health.
