The placebo effect

Treating yourself with your mind is possible, but there is more to the placebo effect  than positive thinking. Your mind can be a powerful healing tool when given the chance. The idea that your brain can convince your body a fake treatment is the real thing — the so-called placebo effect — and thus stimulate healing has been around for millennia. Now science has found that under the right circumstances, a placebo can be just as effective as traditional treatments. "The placebo effect is more than positive thinking — believing a treatment or procedure will work. It's about creating a stronger connection between the brain and body and how they work together." Placebos won't lower your cholesterol or shrink a tumor. Instead, placebos work on symptoms modulated by the brain, like the perception of pain. "Placebos may make you feel better, but they will not cure you."

@Veer Hi Veer, if you are facing frequent UTI then you first need to identify the root cause. And work on your water intake, diet corrections, hydration and check your blood parameters too. As it's rightly said Placebo effect can make you feel better but can not cure so make sure the changes which you do in your routine to prevent UTI should be done with right mind set and assure yourself that whatever changes you are doing to prevent UTI will reduce it's frequency and will not give any discomfort to you. Make sure to train your mind and it will train your body on it's own. Faith and trust on a treatment increases it's efficiency and that is placebo effect.
