In the placebo effect, basically someone is ailing of something, at which time they are given a sugar pill or an injection of some "medicine." Soon after the "medical dosage," the patient actually receives the intended benefit of the "medicine." The active ingredient here is that the patient's belief. They actually thought they were getting the medicine and had full faith that they were going to be healed, cured, or set at ease because of it. Regardless of what was put in the patient's body, the brain was told, by the mind, that it was going to work. It was basically the person's faith in the medicine that cured them.
