Hypnosis for stopping allergies?
)
5 days ago
My wife suffers from allergies to the point that it makes her miserable. I used to have allergies but got rid of them by convincing myself that the little things causing them (pollen, pet dander, etc) couldn’t really hurt my body. My reasoning was that my immune system was reacting in a really over-the-top way and my mind can help curb those reactions. I tried telling my wife this trick but her initial reaction was to cling to the allergies. She was sure there was no scientific evidence that my method would work. I did a quick search and came up with several things including the idea that placebos can work because the people believe they are going to get helped by them. She still didn’t believe.
We hit a bit of an impasse for a while. This year her allergies are worse than ever. She wakes up in the morning and one of the first thing she does is to check the pollen forecast for the day. So I did a bit more research and came up with this article:
It got me wondering again if she could overcome much of her misery using hypnosis. I brought it up to her again and she still was resistant but did look into seeing if there were any hypnotherapists in our area.
So the question is: has anyone ever tried hypnosis before? Particularly for allergies but really for anything. Did it work? Did it last?
