Hypnosis and Healing

Description

This program shows how hypnosis can be used to accelerate healing in the human body. The concept was tested on a dozen patients with broken ankles, all of whom received routine treatment in the hospital. Six of the patients were hypnotized once a week for 12 weeks, while the others received only standard treatment. X-rays revealed that those who had been hypnotized healed faster than the others. A similar test was conducted on 18 breast-surgery patients. Six received standard care, six received support from a psychologist, and six were hypnotized before and after surgery. The wounds of all three groups were assessed after surgery, and it was found that the group receiving hypnosis had healed significantly faster.
