Lyta Humphris from Hypnosis Devon is well qualified and has many years of past experience in treating irritable bowel using hypnotherapy under their belt.
Lyta Humphris a trained specialist hypnotherapist specialising in irritable bowel syndrome, said,
I have been been using hypnotherapy to help IBS in my practice based in Plymouth, Devon for 20 years, and have helped many people with IBS. It often happens that people with IBS get so worried that they will not find a toilet in time, so they can hardly get out. So generally most IBS sufferers actually have two problems – anxiety and IBS. I find hypnotherapy helps IBS and the anxiety and I get good results.
In fact The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has recognised hypnotherapy as a possible treatment for IBS in those who haven’t responded to other treatments.
