Helping with Neurological disorders

Imaginary can be used to bring about a reduction in stress levels in the body. By using hypnosis imaginary can be greatly enhanced.

Neurological pathways in the brain can be stimulated with the use of imaginary through hypnosis.

Imaginary through hypnosis can be effective with the following.

• Reduces stress and pain
• Increases circulation, and blood flow
• Helps to improve sleep
• Gives a sense of well being
• Naturally increases dopamine levels
• Sets up conditions for the body to heal itself

The Department of Neurology at Rambam Hospital in Haifa, Israel conducted a study to examine whether a Parkinson’s Disease (PD) tremor, known to worsen with stress, would improve with “relaxation guided imagery” (RGI) and calming music.

The number of participants in the study was twenty . They had moderate to severe tremors. Relaxation techniques were used. The tremor was objectively monitored using an accelerometer.

All 20 subjects iwith the “relaxation guided imagery” had dramatically decreased tremor (baseline 270.38 +/- 85.82 vs. RGI 35.57 +/- 43.90 movements per minute

The average tremor activity remained significantly bellow baseline, at both 15 min and 30 min after imagery was discontinued

It is interesting to note that the relaxing music also significantly reduced the tremor, but to a lesser degree than imagery (220.04 +/- 106.53 movements per minute P = 0.01). Even more note worthy was that simple, self-relaxation had no significant effect on tremor.

The researchers concluded that RGI can supplement conventional medical treatments for tremor in patients with PD.
