Asthma

Asthma is a common and life threatening chronic disease. It is characterised by repeated attacks or difficulty in breathing or coughing. It affects over ten percent of the UK population.

For more than forty years, research studies have indicated that hypnotherapy can be an effective means of helping asthmatic patients control, reduce and in some cases eliminate their condition. Hypnosis will help you to gain back control over your asthma, teaching you breathing techniques and self hypnosis to give you the tools to deal with the attack. I will help you to address any triggers which bring on attacks.

Asthma can affect anyone at any age. Several triggers that could bring on an attack are:

  • Smoking
  • Diet
  • Lifestyle
  • Increased hygienic environment
  • Smoking during pregnancy
  • Viral infection (sometimes causes a late onset of asthma)
  • Mould
  • Pollution
  • Work place irritants

It affects over ten percent of the UK population. Symptoms include:

  • Difficulty in breathy/tightness in the chest.
  • Wheezing
  • Unproductive coughing at night.

Stress and Anxiety can also aggravate or bring on an attack. Please ensure that you contact your GP prior to hypnotherapy treatment, as hypnotherapy should be utilised in conjunction with your asthma medications and not as a substitute.
