Using hypnosis as asthma treatment
Hypnosis can also you manage asthma and can give you a reassuring sense of control
over your condition.
Research shows that negative emotions such as panic and depression can affect the
respiratory system, in effect bringing on an asthma episode in people with the
condition. Hypnosis treatment can lower stress(1) , a common trigger of asthma, but also
we know that the power of the mind can influence physical processes. Hypnosis can
improve immune function and anaesthetize pain and directly and beneficially effect
the workings of the body (2) and can ease asthma(3).
Ease Asthma will get you feeling more relaxed and give you a way of quickly feeling
more comfortable during typical asthma trigger times. It will re-train your
unconscious mind to minimize episodes and get you feeling instantly more free from
asthma symptoms.
N.B. Any asthma sufferer should of course get appropriate medical treatment.

(2) Ernest Hilgard (1977) and coworkers: in extensive investigations, using
experimental paradigms to induce pain (typically either a tourniquet cutting off
the circulation to a limb or plunging the limb into cold water), they have
demonstrated that various types of pain can be reduced by Hypnotically induced
analgesia.
(3) Maher-Loughnan (1970) asthmatic subjects were randomly assigned to either
Hypnosis or relaxation therapy. The results showed both treatment modalities of
benefit to the patients, but the improvement in the Hypnotherapy group was
significantly greater. There was a peak of improvement between the seventh
and twelfth weeks of treatment. In addition, only the Hypnotic subjects showed
improvement in physiologic measures of respiration (forced expiratory volume).
NB We recommend that you speak to a medical professional if you do suffer from asthma.
