Is hypnosis simply the placebo effect?
Many people have believed that hypnosis is simply a powerful version the placebo effect which is not so bad as long as it works. However recent research conducted for a BBC documentary on Alternative Medicine revealed that there is far more to it than that. They compared brain scans to people under hypnosis with people under the placebo effect and found that it effects entirely different parts of the brain. Hypnosis is therefore very real. It enables you to be in direct communication with your subconscious mind and bring about both psychological and physical changes at a deep level.
