Reiki

Abstract

The use of complementary treatment methods has continued to increase in recent years because they have no side effects and are cheap and easy to apply. These methods are used alone or in combination with pharmacological methods. Energy therapies, which are among complementary therapies, are healing practices that have existed in different cultures from the past to the present. These therapies are also called “biofield” therapies. Energy therapies affect the electromagnetic fields around the body to reveal the available energy. These energy therapies include therapeutic touch, healing touch and Reiki. Energy-based Reiki is a non invasive complementary practice.
