The body is not just a machine. We can interchange parts, put new hearts and lungs and livers and kidneys in and hips and knees and all kinds of joints. However, to do that requires the mind to be involved in a couple of ways. It is the mind that controls the perception of pain, and often controls the rate of healing. So hypnosis can be an adjunctive therapy for both preparing for surgery, helping the patient relax, and focus on wellness and focus on an accelerated healing process. After surgery, it has been proven clinically in test after test, that there is often less bruising and trauma to the tissue and less blood loss. If there is less bruising and blood loss, then the recovery process is going to happen faster. So, again, we are tapping into the mind's own power to regenerate the body.
