While the placebo effect does show up as a slight (just outside the margin of error) increase in success, I don't think it's even close to a 50% increase.

Yeah, it doesn't rate more than +1 and is already mostly covered by the Low Tech rules for medicinal herbs or the +1 you get from being treated by someone with Esoteric Medicine even when that skill has no exotic benefi9ts.

What you seem to be doing is creating a form of Esoteric Medicine that does work. Within your setting it can do whatever you want but you're leaving the Real world far behind.
