Clinically backed self-hypnosis app Reveri, the brainchild of Stanford Psychiatrist Dr. David Spiegel, is adding a new feature called the ‘Hypno-Pharmacy’, a modern support tool to address mental, emotional and physical challenges providing a bespoke Self-hypnosis prescription curated specifically for you.
Whether you are suffering from a lack of sleep, are low in energy, feeling anxious or simply striving to feel better about life, look no further.
He is passionate about offering natural and empowering solutions that enable his patients to move away from pain without always resorting to pharmaceuticals as the first port of call.
He believes there is a place for pharma medication but that practices such as hypnosis are powerful and should not be overlooked. The Hypno Pharmacy brings tailor-made self-hypnosis to all.
Whether you need to address emotional challenges or find relief from physical conditions, your Hypno Pharmacy prescription awaits.
This ‘Hypno-Pharmacy’ gives everyone access to recovery and support, aiming to minimise the use of often over-prescribed medications which temporarily treat and “alleviate” symptoms but often cannot get to the root of the problem.
With over 86 million antidepressants subscribed to an estimated 8.6 million patients in 2022/23, it’s obvious that there is a crack in the system and that things must change.
A life spent dependently on synthetic medications is not sustainable in the long term as it has a long list of side effects and no promise of long-term cure.
Dr Spiegel says, “A new approach to Western medicine needs to include a zero-side effect treatment as the first line of defence to combat everyday problems”.
Why Self-hypnosis? During self-hypnosis, our brains can switch frequencies between Alpha and Theta waves (4 -14Hz). When we operate in this way, we access enhanced visualisation and imagination, heightened learning, and concentration.
We can create new, positive neural connections and pathways to successfully address our challenges, change habits, elevate our thinking, and promote desirable behaviours. This process treats and cures mental and physical health problems, including anxiety, depression, stress, sleep, chronic pain, and addiction.
“Our modern health system often takes an overly prescribed approach which gives easy access to medications to temporarily relieve symptoms but with no long-term solution. It becomes a lifelong state of overmedication resulting in unwanted side effects,” added Dr Spiegel.
Worryingly, as of 2020, one in every eight people, or roughly 970 million people, live with a mental health disorder, with the most common conditions including anxiety and depression.
Symptoms can include a sense of low self-worth and loss of interest and can even manifest physically in the body through disturbed sleep, loss of appetite, low energy, poor concentration, chronic pain, and coping mechanisms that result in extremely negative habits.
Future thinking doctors such as Dr Spiegel long ago realised that a new approach to Western medicine is a must, and by harnessing the power of methods such as self-hypnosis, there could be a sustainable solution to a myriad of health concerns, giving us our life and our health back. The good news is that your Hypno prescription is all-natural and only a tap away.
