Soothe away those itches and scales - treat psoriasis with hypnosis
Psoriasis is an unpleasant skin condition which can make your life really miserable. Whether you have the commonest
'plaque' type or a less common form, you can be driven wild by itching, disabled by cracking and bleeding, kept awake
by discomfort, repelled by your appearance, and totally disheartened by your prospects. So finding a good psoriasis
treatment that works for you is pretty important.
Factors that affect psoriasis
Although the exact causes of psoriasis aren't yet fully understood, and no 'complete cure' has yet been discovered, a
great deal is known about the process of the illness itself. For example, it's known that psoriasis doesn't randomly
appear but requires a 'trigger' to activate it. Injury, infection and drug reactions are all known to be triggers. But
one of the commonest triggers is emotional stress. Paradoxically, this is good news!
Why psoriasis responds well to hypnotic intervention
Conditions where emotional factors play a significant role are particularly amenable to hypnotic intervention. Why is
this? Our emotional states may appear to arise autonomously, in a way that's outside our control. However, while it is
true that emotional response is not a conscious behaviour, it has been clearly demonstrated that the nature, intensity
and duration of such responses can be modified with hypnosis.
The power of hypnosis to bring about healing change
Furthermore, it has been conclusively shown that, where emotional states are modified, measurable physical consequences
follow. Blood pressure can be raised or lowered. Healing can be speeded up. Immune response can be strengthened. Pain can be reduced or eliminated. And hypnosis is the most effective way to bring about such changes. This is because, in
hypnosis, your brain can easily reprogram so-called instinctive responses.
Scientific research into hypnosis for psoriasis
Hypnotic intervention for psoriasis has been specifically investigated in a pilot study at the John Hopkins Medical
School in Baltimore. (1) Five patients were given specific positive suggestions about their skin. Six were given neutral
suggestions. All the patients showed some benefit, but those who were given hypnotic suggestions specifically directed
at their psoriasis enjoyed much better healing.
Hypnotic help for psoriasis you can use at home
Psoriasis treatment is an audio hypnosis session which brings together all these understandings of how to use the powers
of the mind to influence healing. It is designed to be used alongside medical care.
Regular listening to Psoriasis treatment will allow you to enjoy (and master) deep relaxation techniques. Regular
repeated use of such techniques is a powerful way to reduce emotional stress and maintain calm even in difficult
situations.
In addition, Psoriasis treatment allows you to attain a much greater level of control over your condition through the
use of powerful metaphor and hypnotic visualization. You will soon find yourself not only feeling much calmer, but
noticing increasing improvements in your skin and general health.
