Curatives
Sticking pins and needles strategically in skin
are acupuncture "wheedles"
to get a healthy spin
Gulping pills and tablets prescriptively set in
are restorative "curettes"
to get a healthy spin
Tooling gums and partials circumspectly jawed in
are dentition "marshals"
to get a healthy spin
Sniffing buds and flowers redolently breathed in
are therapeutic "powers"
to get a healthy spin
Venting gains and losses critically probed in
are psychologic "sauces"
to get a healthy spin
Taking fakes and sugars innocently from sin
are all placebo "boogers"
to get a healthy spin
