Digestion and Hypnosis

In a recent article in John Hopkins Health Alert, it says:

The symptoms of digestive disorders can be alleviated, and often completely eliminated, with the right combination of medication, dietary changes, exercise, weight loss, stress reduction, and, as a last resort, surgery.

It seems that hypnosis can help with several of these, especially exercise, weight loss, dietary changes, and stress reduction. Hypnosis is the best method I know of to reduce stress. Self-hypnosis done on a daily basis has many physical benefits, all due to the reduction of cortisol, which is a byproduct of prolonged stress. Hypnosis can help someone establish a regular exercise routine, and stay motivated. It also helps with weight loss, because it can facilitate dietary changes necessary to maintain a healthy diet. Just imagine how beneficial it would be to eliminate cravings for unhealhy foods, establish cravings for healthy alternatives, and diminish the appetite in general!

If you need a hypnotist, you can use NGH.net to find one located near your zip code.

According to this research, these are the conditions that can be alleviated this way:
Crohn's disease
diarrhea
diverticulosis and diverticulitis
gallstones
gastritis
irritable bowel syndrome
ulcerative colitis
ulcers
