When is hypnotherapy beneficial?


According to the University of Maryland Medical Center,
"Hypnosis is used in a variety of settings to relieve conditions with an emotional or psychological component. Studies suggest that hypnosis may improve immune function, increase relaxation, decrease stress, and ease feelings of anxiety.

Hypnotherapy is effective in reducing the fear and anxiety that accompany pain and uncomfortable medical or dental procedures. For example, when used during an operation, hypnosis may improve recovery time and decrease anxiety as well as pain following the surgery. Clinical trials on burn patients suggest that hypnosis decreases pain (enough to replace pain medication) and speeds healing.

A hypnotherapist can teach you self-regulation skills. For instance, someone with arthritis may be told that he or she can turn down pain like the volume on a radio. Hypnotherapy can also be an effective tool for managing chronic illness. Self-hypnosis can enhance a sense of control, which is often eroded by chronic illness.

Children may benefit the most from hypnosis, probably because they are most easily hypnotized.

The Mayo Clinic:
"Hypnotherapy has the potential to help relieve the symptoms of a wide variety of diseases and conditions. According to preliminary studies, hypnotherapy may be used to:
  • Change negative behaviors, such as smoking, bed-wetting and overeating
  • Reduce or eliminate fears, stress and anxiety
  • Treat pain during childbirth and reduce labor time
  • Control pain during dental and surgical procedures
  • Relieve symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Control nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy
  • Reduce the intensity or frequency of headaches, including migraines
  • Treat and ease the symptoms of asthma
  • Hasten the healing of some skin diseases, including warts, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis
