The Ultimate Power of a Mind in Healing

Our mind possesses the ultimate power to heal, alter physiological functions include digestion, circulation and the immune system. The lack of solid scientific background and philosophical dimensions often ignore these facts, but it is no magic that actually heals an individual. The fact that these processes are regulated by the brain, via the autonomic nervous system. This changes and healing take place because of the biochemical reactions which occur in those instances, making changes in the production of hormones like endorphins and oxytocin, and reducing the harmful ones like cortisol and adrenaline.
Factors like stress or being afraid can trigger an immune response called inflammation, increasing the heartbeats and emptying your bowel. To explain how consciousness and mind plays a critical role in healing. For example, a person allergic to poison ivy doesn't break out when rubbed with poison ivy and told of elm leaves, but breaks out when rubbed with elm leaves and told of poison ivy.
