Extraphysical Placebo, also Extraphysical Placebo Effect, is an extraphysicalist and an extraphysical mechanics concept where the placebo effect is actually the influence of extraphysics and of the extraphysical mind and spirit over someone's physical body, such as the influence of the extraphysical level on someone's physical body. Extraphysical placebo is used to explain about how majority of the spiritual experiences are so similar to placebo effect and about how it's really hard to have a spiritual experience that could overcome the placebo effect as well.
