Hypnosis and your Immune System

It is widely known and has been highly researched and tested, that heightened levels of stress can have an adverse effect on your immune system.  There has also been extensive research into relaxation therapies and hypnosis and the effects on the immune system.

Research in the area of hypnosis and the immune system indicates that, generally, hypnotic intervention can moderate immune system functioning.

In two studies, hypnosis buffered the effects of stress on immune functions in medical students at exam time, and the comparison of self-hypnosis with and without immune imagery confirmed advantages to targeted imagery for both immune function and mood, and importantly, fewer winter viral infections. 

This is vital in the current climate as we experience the COVID-19 outbreak.  Trying to remain positive and calm to ensure we have strong immune systems to fight the virus will be essential.  It is especially important for those with compromised immune systems at present, such as those going through Chemotherapy Treatment for Cancer or have disease that compromise the immune system.

There are other ways we can help our bodies and fuel our minds.  By adopting healthy lifestyle habits can help maintain optimum function and offer a little assistance with protection:

• Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. These foods provide you with the nutrients your body needs to produce immune proteins, enzymes, and cells.
• Smoking interferes with the immune function of your respiratory system, predisposing you to infections. 
• Manage stress levels. Excess stress can raise sympathetic hormone function, which directly reduces your immune function.
• A good night’s sleep. Lack of restorative sleep interferes with healthy hormone balance, compromising your immune system.

 
To help you feel a little calmer, more relaxed and in control of your own body, I have created this immune system recording.  This recording will take you on a relaxation journey that will allow you to command your cells within your body and strengthen your immune system.  It is based on methods I learned from Marisa Peer's, Command Cell Therapy (CCT).  

This recording is available to purchase as an MP3 download for the small fee of £5.00 to enable you to listen uninterrupted and without the need for an internet connection.  Simply email your request to enquiries@nadinemccabe.com
