As more and more people take responsibility for their lives by taking an active interest in
helping resolve their issues the list of ailments that self hypnosis can affect in a positive
way increases.
Indeed, the BBC's own health web-site has recently ran an article entitled "Hypnosis could
banish hay fever". The article describes how teaching hay fever sufferers the art of self
hypnosis can help them to alleviate their symptoms such as itchy red eyes, runny nose and
as a result the amount of anti-allergic medication may be reduced.
The article goes on to say that in a recent Swiss research study 66 hay fever sufferers
were taught self hypnosis. Over a period of 2 years the group that were using
self hypnosis for their hay fever tested
well to reduction in nasal mucus flow and needed to use less eye drop medication.
The trial was too small however to be statistically significant.
There is no doubt that hay fever sufferers would welcome even a small percentage reduction
in the symptoms they suffer from. More research with larger study groups would help support
the case for the use and effectiveness of self hypnosis for hay fever and many other ailments.
