Hypnotic Therapy to Treat your Smoking Problem

Hypnosis Along with weight management, smoking cessation is the most popular medical use of hypnosis. Hypnosis helps a person learn to deeply relax, and then to be open to suggestions that strengthen resolve to quit, and increase negative feelings toward cigarettes. Self-hypnosis is the natural extension of these tools, allowing the person to maintain the calm state developed in a hypnosis session. Guided imagery is similar to hypnosis, and involves creating negative images about smoking and positive pictures that help bolster the strength needed to quit.

It is no new concept that the mind affects the body. As far back as 350 B.C. Hippocrates, known as "the father of medicine," stated that all feelings and emotions start in the brain, and that those feelings and emotions are the source of any disease in the body. Hippocrates reasoned that if you can influence the brain, you can influence the body.

So, if you are living in Greece at this time you might get the chance to attend the Medical School and Guild founded by Hippocrates on the Aegean island of Cos, and you might even get the chance to read one or more of the seventy impressive volumes that he wrote, known as the Hippocratic Corpus. There would find the very beginnings of the search to find the connection between mind and body.

A review of nearly five dozen studies showed that while hypnosis may have some effect as an anti-smoking treatment, it is by no means an end-all and be-all treatment for smoking cessation.

According to Green, one of the key problems in determining the effectiveness of hypnosis as a smoking cessation treatment is a lack of a standard way to conduct hypnosis. Across the studies, hypnosis treatments varied in the types of questions that were asked; the number of treatments each subject underwent; and the inclusion of other smoking-cessation interventions.

Doctors are becoming increasingly supportive of hypnotherapy as an aid to better health. It is a non-invasive therapy, complementary to orthodox medicine.
