Seasonal allergies can be controlled with Hypnosis

[Administrator]

Do you suffer from seasonal allergies or asthma and want to try out other methods?

Why not read the interesting article on the News- Journal website and post your comments on the forum.

Interesting Article, i am one that suffers with allergies and urticaria in the summer months and suffer hives as a result. I would be very interested to hear how hypnosis would help in this case.
what kind of hypnotherapy would be used?

I too suffer from seasonal allergies. They're never too severe and I prefer not to take any medications, so another alternative such as hypnosis would be great.

I would like to see an article about someone who actually went through hypnosis to treat their allergies. From what I read in this article, the patient took medication shots and hypnosis was only offered as an alternative for readers of the article.

There is a tool called the "Fast Allergy Cure" in NLP. It is intended to cure specific allergies within a single session.

It does work for some people, but not for everyone.

To me, that points to the power of the mind in being able to change the response of the immune system.

Why does it work for some people and not others? I have no idea! Perhaps (but this is only a theory) some allergies are just a mistaken response by the immune system and are OK to cure, whereas other allergies are a more serious response to a person's genetic make-up and are not OK to cure.

A single session with NLP? wow! I'd love to think i could cure the Urticaria in a single session. I will look into this, i understand i may be of the one's it doesnt work for.
So no mention of any proof with hypnotherapy then?

Because urticaria is mainly caused by histamine being released from the mast cells in the body as a reaction to something touching the skin, then it may be possible to help using hypnosis on the basis that you may be able to control the subconscious reaction to instantly release excess histamine.

In other words, you will mentally train your mast cells to respond to an alternative stimulus, in the same way that I have used hypnosis to help a woman relieve herself from excessive hot flushes.
