Hypnotherapy can relieve the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Hypnotherapy can relieve the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, found researchers at Withington Hospital Manchester.
More than 200 IBS sufferers were given one hour's hypnotherapy a week for up to 12 weeks; 71% said bloating and pain were reduced, and this effect lasted for up to six years.
The gut wall is linked to the nervous system, so it's thought the physical symptoms of IBS can be influenced by therapies that reduce stress.
