Clinical HypnosisWritten by Paul Gustafson RN, BSN, CH
Clinical HypnosisDid you know that Americans spend as much out-of-pocket for holistic solutions such as hypnosis as they do for inpatient hospitalizations? The Eisenberg studies of 1991 and again in 1997 shocked mainstream medical community with these findings. The authoritarian approach to western medicine assumes that health and wellness comes from others. This minimizes importance of our own natural ability to not only enhance healing process but to avoid illness to begin with. If rapid assembly line of traditional healthcare has clinicians overwhelmed, what about emotional state of those being cared for? How are patients coping with their situation? What expectations do they have for recovery? Do they see themselves as temporarily side tracked or powerless? Do they believe there is a role for them to play in their own recovery or do they feel totally dependant? This article describes how hypnosis works and reviews some of clinical applications. What is Hypnosis? The word “hypnosis” is a Greek derivative for “sleep” coined by scientist James Braid in 1843. It was an unfortunate choice of words because hypnosis is not sleep at all. Nearly all hypnosis clients hear and remember everything during a session. Hypnosis is better described as a combination of deep physical relaxation and heightened awareness. It is process of bypassing conscious thought and stepping into subconscious, which is our body’s control center and also where all of our habits, values and beliefs reside. The subconscious mind is like hard drive of a computer, it is where all programming is stored. Hypnosis not only helps you step inside of this powerful place, but it also empowers client to initiate positive changes supporting improved health and thoughts of future success. A hypnotist/hypnotherapist uses soothing music and paints peaceful verbal images enabling clients to shift from conscious to subconscious thought. Once this is accomplished they are directed with carefully phrased suggestions, affirmations and imagery supporting desired goals. The client subconsciously integrates information and puts it into action. Clinical Hypnosis Clinical hypnosis applies to medical concerns. There are dozens of applications of this holistic technique in acute care setting and scientific research is building an impressive case supporting its effectiveness and cost saving merits. Here are some examples:

SIMPLY DETOX foot patches are simply applied to soles of feet overnight and work in a natural non-intrusive way by absorbing accumulated, harmful toxins and stimulating reflex zones in feet. In Japan they are known as Netterumani, which literally translates as “While Sleeping.”SIMPLY DETOX foot patches contain a unique blend of natural ingredients including agaricus mushroom powder, tourmaline, and eucalyptus sap powder. How does SIMPLY DETOX work? SIMPLY DETOX foot patches adopt science of reflexology based on principle that all organs of body are represented reflexively on soles of feet. And your feet are an ideal place to detox because they have a higher concentration of pores than any other part of body as well as 60 acupressure points in sole alone. By applying a foot patch these reflex points are stimulated by tourmaline and corresponding part of body is influenced. At same time toxins will be absorbed by Eucalyptus sap powder, which has powerful absorbent properties.
