Nail Biting

See Also: Stopping Nail Biting with Hypnosis

Nail biting is not only something that people do when they're bored, or absent minded, it's also one of the more common methods that people use to relieve stress and tension. 

When they are in a stressful situation, they bite their nails !!! 

The reason why most people bite their nails, whether in times of stress, or simply through habit, is essentially the same mechanism as used by overeaters and smokers - it's called 'oral satisfaction'.

Oral Satisfaction.

Put simply, 'oral satisfaction' involves putting something in your mouth, be it a nail, a cigarette, cream cake, etc, and this will often be done in times of stress.  Of course, where nail biting is concerned, it can be both unhygienic and unsightly.

Many people don't necessarily bite their nails at all, they may just bite the skin around their finger nails, but the principal is essentially the same.

How to Stop Nail Biting?

If you are looking to stop biting your nails (or the skin around your nails for that matter), then one of the most popular methods, certainly one of the most popular, is hypnosis.
