Can A Placebo Help Allergy Symptoms?
Well it seems it can according to this latest study on patients with allergic rhinitis and skin disorders (hives, itching, soreness).
Even though people knew they were taking a placebo and the pills were labelled as such, symptoms improved within a few days. It didn’t seem to matter either whether they were educated about how placebos work or not, or what their expectations were.
