Hypnosis can help treat asthma by teaching patients how to calm themselves or use healing metaphors in the face of an asthma episode. The use of hypnosis in this setting can help asthma symptoms improve or even resolve. Unfortunately, there is no cure for asthma. Asthma is a problem for many adults and is one of the most common chronic childhood disorders, affecting over seven million children under 18 years old.
Improving Chronic Asthma With Hypnotherapy
Many of the recent studies on mind-body therapies for asthma focus on hypnotic relaxation techniques and self-hypnosis. Hypnosis is the induction of a deeply relaxed state, with increased suggestibility and suspension of critical faculties. Once in this state, sometimes called a hypnotic trance, patients are given therapeutic suggestions to encourage changes in behavior or relief of symptoms.
Psychological Factors in Asthma
The question is does stress precede severe attacks of asthma? Common traits in people who suffer from asthma are high anxiety, dependence on others, low confidence, and suppression of their emotions. Often the psychosomatic part of asthma is fear or anxiety over asthma.
How Relaxation Techniques Through Hypnosis Helps Asthma Symptoms
Symptoms of an asthma attack are wheezing, a cough, a tight chest, and trouble breathing. Wheezing is the classic symptom. Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling or purring sound when breathing out. These symptoms are frightening, people are concerned about having an asthma attack at school, work, or around friends. They may fear that they will not be able to breathe during an attack. If symptoms are controlled daily you will have fewer and less severe asthma attacks. This is where the relaxation techniques through hypnosis can help. Suggestions should be given to reinforce a sense of being protected and to give positive reassurance that relaxation can occur.
Hypnosis is used Asthma in Adults and Children. Hypnosis is also used for children to prevent other habits of childhood like thumb-sucking, bed wetting, and nail-biting. All have been treated with hypnotherapy with significant success.
