Hypnosis In Children: The Complete Cure Of Forty Cases Of Asthma

Abstract

Hypnotherapy is not necessarily a replacement for vaccine therapy in the treatment of asthma. But in those cases where vaccine therapy has poor results, hypnosis can be a very effective adjunct to our medical armamentarium in the treatment of childhood asthma. Moreover, never is it to be used simply to suppress the asthmatic attacks without thoroughly explaining the causation of the asthma. In some cases removal of the emotional or environmental factor alone is enough to drop “down the mountain” far enough to fall below the “asthma level.” Asthma might be the visible manifestation of some well-hidden deep-rooted psychosis which if not handled properly could very well cause some much more serious symptom than asthma. Thorough understanding of this fact is vital, and sympathetic and competent handling is necessary
