It is pretty well documented that traditional Chinese herbs can be helpful in any number of ways; they have a significant amount of health benefits.

However, new research suggests that they may be even more beneficial than previously thought. It is said that Chinese herbs may be able to help those who are at a high risk for getting diabetes. In sixteen clinical trials which utilized fifteen different formulations of herbs, it was discovered that the herbal formulas were able to lower the glucose, or blood sugar, levels in those people who had pre diabetes. That means that your body’s blood sugar control is impaired, and can further progress into a full blown case of type 2 diabetes.

The research discovered that by adding herbs and adopting lifestyle changes, patients had a high chance of lowering their levels of blood sugar to the normal range.

Now that we have talked about scheduling your session in a place that has no disturbances as well – the next step in self hypnosis is solving your goal.  Now – you want to make sure that you repeat that goal over and over again and make sure that you think about the positive things about the stressful situation.

By far the most important step though is relaxing.  You always want to make sure that your entire body is completely relaxed while you are undergoing self hypnosis.  That way you can concentrate on some deep breathing patterns.  You want to make sure that you allow yourself to feel the air filling up your lungs and slowly being released.

It will help you relax completely and I can promise that you will feel ten times better in the end – especially the more often you do it.

Whenever you are performing self hypnosis, you just need to free yourself from disturbances and make sure that you actually schedule yourself time to do self hypnotizing.  Disturbances can be terrible, so make sure that you schedule times when you know you are not going to be disturbed.
