In this article, I will discuss the relationship between psychoneuroimmunology and hypnotherapy. First, without addressing this relationship, let us start our article by defining psychoneuroimmunology. Although Solomon first coined the term psychoimmunology in 1964, it is noteworthy that there was very little human research in this field until the 1980s (Kiecolt-Glaser et al., 2002).
The Immune system is made up of organs and tissues, including the spleen, appendix, tonsils, thymus, bone marrow and lymph nodes. It is of vital importance for our health and wellbeing, in fact, it is vital for survival, as it protects us from anything that does not belong in us, things like bacteria, viruses, toxins and cancerous cells.
