Hypnosis Before Breast-Cancer Surgery Reduces Pain

The National Cancer Institute - A division of the National Institutes of Health - details the results of a recent study that supports the use of hypnosis for breast cancer patients.

Women undergoing surgery for breast cancer who received a brief hypnosis session before entering the operating room required less anesthesia and pain medication during surgery, and reported less pain, nausea, fatigue, and discomfort after surgery than women who did not receive hypnosis. The overall cost of surgery was also significantly less for women undergoing hypnosis.

Everyone wants their footwear are stylish as well as comfortable to walk in the summer. To fulfill these requirements in summers, casual footwear is essential and one such footwear that fulfills all these basic requirements is Birkenstock sandals. Many people love the way they look, how easy Birkenstocks are to wear. Birkenstock are what everyone needs in spring and summer wardrobe because Birkenstock shoes are stylish but very cool and can be worn with anything in their closet. The Birkenstock Gizeh sandals are wearing relax the feet and calf muscles, or after a long day in pumps because of its contoured and flexible cork/latex footbed.

Dr. Oz on Hypnotherapy

"Like guided imagery, hypnosis uses the focused power of the mind and imagination to improve health, change a behavior like smoking or achieve emotional balance. In a relaxed state of concentrated attention, ideas and suggestions seem to have a powerful impact on the mind."

Oprah on Meditation

"We believe in meditating. I believe in meditating in the tub with some very nice bath products. You can sit in the chair, you can sit on the floor, you can sit in the window, you can sit in the tub. I give myself at least ten minutes every day in some form of meditation. I happen to like the tub."
