Multiple Sclerosis (abbreviated as MS) remains to be a mysterious disease even until now that we are already highly advanced in medical science. In medical language, MS is called “encephalomyelitis disseminata” or put simply a “disseminated sclerosis”. It is a disease that involves the white matter of the brain and in the spinal cord. Because it affects the brain and the nervous system, it is included on the list among the auto-immune disorders. According to research, women are most likely to get affected with MS and it has been observed that its manifestation usually begins during adolescence.

There are many early symptoms of MS and two of these are the lack of energy of the person and constant feeling of tiredness which leads to fatigue. Fatigue would not go away even if the person takes a lot of rest. MS was discovered during the 1860s. Because the disease affects the nerve cells of the brain and the spinal column, there is a loss of ability of the nerves to communicate. The person’s visual, motor control, cognitive functions and coordination and even sensory senses are affected. Not only that, even their sexual performance, bowel movements and bladder functioning will most likely to be affected too.

MS until now has no definite medications but only maintenance to stabilize the ailing body. Unfortunately, MS can be triggered by unknown factors so there could be sudden attack once something triggered the disease. Today, alternative treatments are being used as a way in enhancing the life of the afflicted person and still gain sense of his life. One of these alternative treatments that have proven its worth is the use of hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis is one of the methods used in hypnotherapy and it can induce a deep level of mental, emotional and physical relaxation. It can help the MS patient to control his level of worry, reduce their stress from their minds, and help diminish the anxieties and fears that is enveloping their minds. With prolonged stress, there could be the severity of MS symptoms and hypnosis can help the person reduce those symptoms.

Since a professional hypnotherapist can train the person to manage his stress levels and gather the means to bring his senses to peace and tranquility, hypnotherapy can make the MS person release the excess stress in his body so that he can again feel better and regain his life. The hypnotherapist can also train the person to learn self hypnosis so that he can do for himself self relaxation until he can be able to control himself when he feels the attack is coming. Fortunately, self hypnosis is easy to learn even for MS patients. As long as the person is capable of controlling himself and listen to himself, he can practice the art of self hypnosis quickly.

Self hypnosis as a means of controlling the sudden attack can be used for 5 minutes to control the outburst of energy and this can progress to 20 minutes when the person has mastered his control over himself. For the moment, we have accepted that there is still no cure for MS but at least one of the branches of science has been able to bring relief to these unfortunate people.
