Initial clinical trials have demonstrated that hypnosis may help improve type of hair loss. The study of patients sufferring from alopecia areata found that hypnosis sessions helped reduce stress and was effective in helping to slow, halt, and even repair hair loss from the disorder. Note that alopecia areata is a type of autoimmune disorder and that the relaxation and stress reduction effects of the induction alone seemed to be very helpful. It seems that followup with more contemporary processes other than the standard progressive relaxation induction should increase overal effectiveness. In any case, it is good news.

All the best,
