Can hypnosis be harmful to a person with a cardiac condition?
No! Hypnosis, per se, cannot possibly precipitate any cardiac problem. In fact, the very fact of relaxation which is the essence of the hypnotic state, can be of definite help. Learning to relax, through hypnotic suggestion, can alleviate anxieties to a great degree, enabling the subject to live more comfortably. A physician’s approval would be mandatory in most cases accepted by an ethical practitioner.
