Starting with a documented case of a rare disease healed through hypnosis, the author goes on to examine the role of mind in the healing process.

Exploring the power of hypnosis and its potential in healing. It delves into the forgotten aspects of hypnosis, suggesting it's more than just a tool for minor psychosomatic complaints. Playfair argues that hypnosis, alongside other natural abilities like telepathy, can be a powerful force in healing and should be more widely explored.
The book examines documented cases, including one where a young doctor successfully treated a patient with a rare skin disease using hypnosis. It also explores the connection between hypnosis, telepathy, and other paranormal phenomena, drawing on both medical research and historical accounts.
Playfair's work emphasizes the need to overcome societal reluctance to embrace these "forgotten powers" and suggests that suppression of these natural abilities is hindering their potential benefits in healing. The book is considered a valuable resource for those interested in alternative healing, paranormal phenomena, and the power of the mind.
