The history of hypnosis
The history of medical hypnosis spans several centuries and many cultures, although its scientific development is more recent.
1. Ancient origins
Forms of hypnosis, or practices resembling hypnosis, already existed in ancient civilizations such as pharaonic Egypt, ancient Greece and India.
Healing and deliverance rituals involving trance states were often used to treat psychological and psychosomatic illnesses, and sometimes to allow surgical procedures (according to Arab-Muslim accounts). Priests and healers used chants, dances, prayers and relaxation methods to induce this altered state of consciousness.
