About this evidence tier
This is a provisional editorial rating for the general practice, not proof that it treats a condition. Research citations will be attached after source-level review. Use the safety notes and judge the practice by your own tracked response.
Expectation shapes outcome. Pairing a practice with a meaningful cue, a consistent setting, and genuine belief can strengthen the real effect. This is the honest use of placebo, not deception.
