Imagine you have a magic sugar pill that doesn’t have any real medicine in it. But when you take it, because you believe it will help you feel better, sometimes it actually does make you feel better.

This magic sugar pill is called a placebo. So, the placebo works because your brain believes in it and helps your body feel better.
