The ultimate in mind-body medicine techniques, hypnosis can help patients manage chronic and acute pain (such as the pain of childbirth), reduce nausea during pregnancy and other circumstances, speed wound healing, and improve the outcomes of many medical procedures and surgical outcomes. Scientific evidence is convincing that hypnosis can help reduce swelling and inflammation and can also improve the body’s immune responses. Hypnosis is not meant to replace any of your medical care, but it can make traditional medical care more likely to succeed with less pain, faster recovery, and a greater sense of personal well-being.
