HYPNOSIS FOR MEDICAL AND OTHER HEALTH ISSUES
The psychological and mental component of pain and disease is estimated at eighty percent. As we learn more about the way that the cells of brain and body communicate directly, we find more avenues for healing that can only come from the mind.
Hypnosis is used more and more commonly in the treatment of many medical conditions including hypertension (high blood pressure), IBS, pain relief, migraines, insomnia, allergies and asthma, pre- and post-surgery, pain-free labor and delivery, uncomfortable medical procedures, biopsies, cancer treatment, cancer pain, pediatric care and elder care.
Clinical hypnotherapy has been widely researched and endorsed by many medical authorities for a wide variety of medical, dental, and psychotherapeutic uses. The consensus in the medical community is that hypnosis shortens treatment time and can provide invaluable relief when other treatments fail.
Hypnosis is widely recommended for many medical treatments, especially those that require less medication. Hypnosis has been found very useful as an adjunct treatment for:
- Hypertension
- IBS
- Pain reduction
- Pediatric care
- Painful or anxiety-provoking procedures
- Pre- and Post-Surgical care
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Oncology
- Elder care, especially where there is a great need for less medication
- Burn care
- Labor and delivery
This is only a partial list. The benefits of hypnosis in healing, wellness, compliance and self-care is limitless
