Reiki has been proven effective at alleviating pain, nausea, anxiety and depression. Furthermore, its practitioners report increased healing, personal growth and helping their clients manage chronic illness symptoms better.
Many hospitals are adopting Reiki therapy into their patient care programs to offer stress relief and pain reduction while simultaneously cutting treatment costs.

Studies conducted on patients receiving Reiki treatments have revealed dramatic decreases in symptoms such as pain, fatigue, nausea and sleep disturbances. It has also been found that Reiki treatments reduce incidences of infections and accelerate healing processes; several studies also demonstrated how Reiki treatments bolstered spleen and lymphatic systems thereby helping prevent the development of autoimmune diseases like lupus, fibromyalgia or thyroid diseases.
Reiki not only has physical and emotional advantages, but can also help lower a nurse’s burnout rate in busy hospital environments – something which may otherwise be impossible without some form of self-care tool such as Reiki – but its ease of use makes it the perfect accompaniment at any point during a shift or shift change.

Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is an ancient hands-on healing art. This natural and safe form of energy healing and stress reduction provides deep relaxation and healing, improving overall health and well-being while managing pain or supplementing medical treatments. Practitioners lay their hands along energy doors or chakras (Sanskrit for wheel), to balance energy flow for healing or simply relaxing purposes.
