Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to the body, improving the flow and balance of energy to support healing. Reiki practice may help with a variety of physical and emotional problems, including insomnia, stress, depression, anxiety, and pain. Here are some of the health benefits of Reiki:
- Promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and symptom relief to improve overall health and well-being.
- Brings on a meditative state.
- Fosters tissue and bone healing after injury or surgery.
- Stimulates the body’s immune system.
Reiki has been studied for conditions like pain, anxiety, and depression. It is a complementary treatment, which means it is used along with proven traditional medical treatments. However, research on Reiki has shown mixed results for effectiveness in some symptom relief, and studies on Reiki largely lack quality. It is important to note that Reiki should never take the place of medical treatments.
