Think of the changes we have to make in our lives as regards to health. Healthy behavioral changes like drink less alcohol, eat food low in cholesterol, stop smoking, exercise more, drive safely� and many others are meant for our well being and optimum health. In the history of modern medicine, surgery and medication have always led in the battle against diseases. But a popular saying goes that prevention is better than cure. Therefore government and medical authorities have begun to place more emphasis on preventative medicine than curative.
These changes, though beneficial to the individual, is not easy to keep up. For example you have an overweight woman who likes eating and eating junk at that. Try as she might to lose weight, once she sights food (ice-cream, chocolate, sandwich, etc) she starts binge eating. Or a man that wants to quit smoking. He attends a clinic but on his way home he meets someone selling cigarettes and he reaches out and buys one and starts smoking again. These people needs follow up support and this sort of help can be gotten from some transformative techniques.
Benefits of Hypnotherapy The potential medical benefits of hypnotherapy are grossly underfunded because there is less potential for profit in it. This is unlike in treatment with drugs where there is much funding due to the huge potential for profit here. However evidence abound that positive results have been gotten from using hypnotherapy in treating asthma, arthritis, bone fracture, cancer, depression, dermatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, warts, addictions, insomnia and migraine. Hypnosis has also been shown to be effective in pain management. A wide variety of stress, panic, anxiety disorders and phobias also respond well to hypnotherapy.
With many people unhappy with pharmaceutical side effects and drug dependency, hypnotherapy which is drug free is gradually gaining ground. Adverse side effects are extremely rare and the safety record of hypnotherapy is excellent.
