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.

Open quote

No stress and not feeling anxious all the time and for what feels like the first time in my life I feel I have some self-worth which has helped me to have confidence, real confidence not 'pretending' to be confident. Life just seems so much brighter and many people have asked me what's my secret to my new 'sparkle'. I never thought that I could feel so care free and relaxed.
