I’ve heard and read studies about it treating a multitude of mental things and lessen physical pain but like how? Is it real? I’m lost.

Imagine if you had the flu and went to the doctor. Now let’s say that the doctor said that you need to take a handful of specific medications to help the flu go away.
Now, let say that those medications are actually just all made up, and when you take them they are purely just sugar pills.
The thing is that unless you were a doctor yourself, you would have no idea if those medications were actually real medications that could help you, so the brain will be putting a large amount of trust into this medication because the doctor told you it would be getting better. Because of this, it may decide to relieve symptoms or just stop making you feel terrible, because these medications are meant to help you feel better.
This results in you feeling better, regardless of if the medications themselves are real.
This is also why if some dude that was dressed as a witch doctor said that he had used a spell on you to make you feel better, then odds are you wouldn’t feel any better, since you wouldn’t trust him.
