Hypnotherapy Can Help Your Liver

March 6, 2008

When people are stressed, their body produces glucocorticoids to regulate the body’s functions.  In laboratory experiments, mice were treated with glucocorticoids and their liver suffered as a result.

When you’re stressed, extra immune cells are released and it is thought that these may be what kills certain liver cells.  It is  also thought possible that these inhibit the flow of blood between the brain and the liver, worsening liver disease.

Anti-stress therapies, such as hypnotherapy, acupuncture, even a massage, can stimulate a nerve called the vague nerve, which helps to counter the stressful effect on the liver.

To help minimise the effects of stress on the liver, you should eat lecithins, contained in foods such as egg yolk, soy beans and sunflower seeds - and of course, have plenty of de-stressing therapy.
