Suffering from seasonal, long-term, or new and unexplained allergies? Can you use hypnosis for allergy relief?
Hypnotherapy is a great tool for allergy relief. There are over 6,500 published papers in peer-reviewed medical journals and publications on scholar.google.com that examine the effectiveness of hypnosis on allergy sufferers. Below are a couple of clips from those publications.
Hypnosis and the allergic response.
Studies have shown a link between the use of hypnosis and a changed response to an allergic stimulus or to a lessened bronchial hyperreactivity. There is as yet no clear explanation for the effectiveness of hypnosis, but there is some evidence for an influence on the neurovascular component of the allergic response.

Subjective Assessment of Allergy Relief following Group Hypnosis and Self-Hypnosis: A Preliminary Study
Self-hypnosis was taught to 34 self-identified allergy patients who attended two training classes. They practiced on their own and were questioned two months later. Seventy-six percent of the subjects reported they felt an improvement in their symptoms; 86% of those who were medicated decreased their medicines. Practice was clearly related to reported improvement. “Feeling hypnotized” was not related to improvement. —
