# Alternative Medicine – A Guide to Holistic and Energy Medicine

Alternative medicine encompasses two primary areas of practice: holistic and energy therapies. Holistic medicine considers health to be an integrated blend of mind, body and spirit; techniques for this include acupuncture and meditation. Energy therapies use techniques like acupuncture and Reiki to balance meridians to restore equilibrium to energy flow along bodily channels known as meridians.

 

## Reiki

 Reiki is an ancient relaxation technique involving practitioners lightly placing their hands on or above specific energy points on or above the body to promote healing by increasing life force energy flow around it. When combined with traditional medical treatments, it has been shown to reduce pain and anxiety significantly – one recent study even showed an increase in white blood cell count while simultaneously decreasing anxiety levels among cancer patients who received Reiki treatments.

 Studies indicate that Reiki may have beneficial effects; however, due to limited studies including placebo-controlled comparison groups it can be hard to tell whether positive results are the result of placebo effect or actually due to healing power of Reiki.

Reiki can be an invaluable complement to other complementary therapies like acupuncture or massage and may help lessen side effects associated with chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

 Reiki practitioners can assist in the identification and release of blocked energies that could contribute to various health issues. They also teach how to practice Reiki on yourself and family members – sessions last approximately 20 minutes and are completely non-invasive; you can try several sessions before making your decision about whether Reiki is for you or not.

 Reiki practitioners can be invaluable when it comes to understanding the science behind complementary and integrative health approaches such as Reiki. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health’s Know the Science resource was designed to make scientific information easy-to-digest so you can become an active participant in making healthcare decisions for yourself, providing resources such as finding credible scientific evidence. Plus it features search engines for federal databases of scientific literature – it’s free for use!
