Answer:

placebo effect

Explanation:

The placebo effect is the phenomenon when a person taking the false medical treatment that does not have true biological and scientific benefit starts feeling better and as if the treatment is helping.

This can happen with the effect of autosuggestion, the technique that makes a person induce the change only by the belief thought or behavior. If the person expects that something can help, they can honestly start feeling better. The psychological suggestion can even sometimes affect body chemistry.

More likely, the people undergoing alternative medicine treatments can feel bettering effect in the short term as they convince themselves they are better, or the improvement can come as a result of the suggestion in cases of conditions made worse by psychological problems (depression, sleep disorders, chronic pains, IBS, even in some cases asthma or headaches).
