Skin Disorders Milton Keynes

Your skin is your largest organ and accounts for around 16% of the body weight. We often judge people by how they look, so although most skin disorders are not medically serious, they can be psychologically devastating.

There are literally hundreds of skin disorders many with a psychosomatic component; however, you can improve skin disorders if you look at your inner emotional environment.

Skin and emotions develop together in the womb; therefore your emotions have a high impact on your skin.

Hypnosis has been shown to alleviate a wide variety of skin conditions by:

•    Reducing stress
•    Regulating blood flow
•    Controlling itching (suggestibility)
•    Decreasing the amount of histamine
•    Accelerating Recovery (if people think about getting better, they reduce recovery time by about half)
•    Decreasing discomfort

Using hypnotherapy, to engender a relaxed state, in conjunction with an NLP control room technique, whereby you access your bodies on and off switch is very effective.
