May 12, 2000 – According to Dr. M. Eric Gershwin of the University of California, Davis, hypnosis can be an effective way to relieve asthma symptoms. This statement is particularly true for children, who are more sensitive than adults to suggestion and hypnotic self-suggestion.
Dr Gershwin and his team conducted a review of studies of hypnosis in the treatment of asthma and found that most of these studies show a positive effect on asthma symptoms, the number of visits to the hospital. urgency and subjective impression of patients. According to the researchers, although there is “significant evidence” that hypnosis may be an effective treatment for asthma, more studies will be needed before it can be concluded and included in basic treatments.
