Zhu You

CORE DEFINITION
An ancient psychological therapy (sometimes combined with incantations or rituals) that treats psychosomatic diseases by diverting attention, using suggestion, and 'shifting essence and transforming qi.'
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Ritualization of the placebo effect. Do not be superstitious, but understand the power of ritual. During treatment, the physician's confident language and specific rituals (such as instructions to take medication on time) are all aimed at mobilizing the patient's psychological self-healing power.
Anchor fast decisions
As one of the thirteen departments of traditional Chinese medicine, 'Zhu You' uses talismans, incantations, verbal prayers, and rituals to divert the patient's attention and mobilize psychological suggestion to heal illness, which can be seen as an early form of mind-body intervention and placebo use.
