Complimentary Practices

There are a lot of ways that hypnosis is beneficial to creating a life worth living well. But, there are procedures and other modalities that are complimentary and together the two can create spectacular change. One underlying concept within hypnosis is the idea of rejuvenating or increasing self-esteem. One really becomes aware just how fragile it can be, especially when our physical being is affected. Aftermath of pregnancy, various illnesses, or genetic occurrences (let alone the aging process in general) can play havoc in the esteem realm.

And one thing I have noticed in my practice is that thinning hair is one of the biggest physical manifestations that causes much emotional pain and potential inner wreckage. How easy it is to relate to Sampson's perils and issues after Delia cut his mane. Whether it is hair loss that is based on hereditary or other factors, it can leave us feeling some how less (even with wonderful shaved-head role models in the world).

This has led me to look into other therapies that could reverse hair loss. One is Aventi Laser Hair Therapy that assist with both male and female hair restoration. Though I cannot vouch for them personally, the positive points to using this treatment is that it is not very invasive. It involves low levels of laser light that helps stimulate the muscles and increases blood flow to certain areas. This allows for the flow of protein to reach hair follicles, which is thought to increase hair production.No cutting, no bleeding. The FDA has approved this procedure. Like other modalities, it may take more than more than one 30-minute session a week. If you are interested or have questions, you can contact them at 1-800-Get-Hair (they have several offices)or visit their web site.

This could work very well also with hypnosis, using hypnotic suggestion to help promote success in the re-growth process, as well as building up self-esteem so that with the new look, there would be less likeliness to sabotage one's self-esteem progress.

And just a quick note, these same low level lasers are also being studied a smoking cessation tool. They would function much like acupressure.
