Hypnotherapy is not only a treatment of stress, it is the best treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a very distressing condition yet there is no abnormality of the gut. It is the commonest gastrointestinal illness and affects as much as 20% of the global population. It is the most common condition seen by Gastroentologist. It is not just a heavy burden on the sufferer but to Health Professionals, the Health Providers and Industry.

Even though there are numerous treatment available, hypnotherapy remains the best IBS treatment and the benefits remain for years. Most experts think this type of treatment should be reserved for severe or refractory IBS. If fact it works better in newly diagnosed IBS.

If you know how hypnotherapy works, you will understand why it is so effective in the treatment of IBS. When fully awake, your brain is at Beta brainwave state. During the trance state the hypnotherapist tries to drop the brainwave down to Theta.

When you are at Theta brainwave state, you are hyper-suggestible. Suggestions from the hypnotherapist will reach the Subconscious Mind because the filters that are likely to reject this information are relaxed. In addition in Theta state, the hypnotherapist has access to the reality generator of REM sleep. In the Theta state, visualisation becomes very very powerful. In the REM state, dreams occur and visualisation during REM sleep is no different from a dream. At the time it is very real. In REM state the brain cannot differentiate what is real or just imagination.

In the Theta state, post-hypnotic suggestions and visualisation is very real. In Theta state, the hypnotherapist can gradually replace all the layers of negative information and replace them with positive ones. The benefits only result after there is change in belief, perception and expectation of your IBS. If doubts creep into the mind of this IBS sufferer, relapse is likely. If the IBS sufferer believes the symptoms of IBS will return, it will.

As long as the subject continue to believe that he or she is in total control, the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome will stay away. All IBS patients should have hypnotherapy and the earlier the better. Well established sufferers have several layers of negative information in their mind and it will take longer to replace with positive info while newly diagnosed IBS patients will respond to only a few sessions because the hypnotherapist has less work to do. In refractory or severe IBS patients it could take more than 12 session of hypnotherapy and home self hypnosis to produce satisfactory results. In numerous cases, however, the results are outstanding.

It is clear that whatever explanation experts can offer, the simplest one is that the hypnotherapist is replacing negative with positive in the Subconscious Mind. So does it not makes sense to have hypnotherapy at the earliest opportunity and save yourself years of distress from a condition where the large gut is normal?
