Nocebo effect

Illnesses, a physical condition,

sending our body, in dire situations, 

we seek relief, with a diagnosis, 

putting our faith, on the physician. 

But, have we wondered the reasons, 

if ever treatments, leads to failures,

by blaming it, on the medications,

for the worsening, of our symptoms. 

Nocebo...

It's an undesirable effect,

when they physically manifest,

negative perceptions of treatments, 

bringing harm to our body.

For, this body, is deeply connected,

governed by our thought processes,

our expectations too play its role,

leading to positive or negative outcomes. 

So, we have to approach holistically, 

not rely on, these chemicals blindly, 

from intentions, to the applications,

we have to trust, follow respectfully. 

For, these doubts, build opinions,

inner anxieties, releases hormones,

from feelings, to our receptors,

they magnify...nocebo effect!
