Reiki is recognized by the World Health Organization as a credible energy healing technique.
Currently, Reiki is used in hospitals and clinics all over the world as a therapeutic measure and health prevention. Reiki is a healing technique that channels universal energy into the body by using touch to activate the natural healing process.
This energy healing technique originated in Japan, created by Mikao Usui, involve placing hands lightly on an individual’s body or holding them just above the body and moving them around while channeling energy. This helps life energy within the body flow through pathways called meridians, and Chakras, in order to ease pain and stress and support the body’s natural ability to heal.
Some of the benefits of Reiki are:
Current research has shown its efficacy.
A 2015 review published in Global Advances in Health and Medicine found that biofield therapies, including Reiki, were effective at easing pain. This review also found that biofield therapies helped reduce certain symptoms in cancer patients, such as fatigue, pain, and anxiety. Other findings include potential efficacy for easing symptoms of other conditions, such as osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, and dementia.
From easing depression and anxiety to managing chronic pain, this energy healing practice has been linked to parasympathetic nervous system activation that promotes mind and body healing, to improved physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Using Reiki in your own life can provide a way for you to ensure healthy energy flow to enhance wellness.

Many studies have been done on the benefits experienced with the practice of Reiki in elderly people. Studies have shown that after receiving five Reiki sessions, individuals demonstrate pain relief, good sleep patterns, ease in carrying out daily tasks, improvement in stress and anxiety levels, changes in thought processes and good health, and improvement of humour. Most elderly people reported using analgesic medications routinely and, during the five days they received Reiki sessions, there were reports that the use of such medications was reduced.
Other studies have also indicated that Reiki therapy has an effect on the autonomic nervous system, and a reduction of more than 50% of disorders characterized by anxiety, depression, pain and fatigue in oncology patients, pre-surgical patients, post-surgical patients, and patients in general. Also, for end-of-life care, Reiki can bring comfort to terminally ill patients. Reiki sessions can help smooth the transition towards a more serene death.
Reiki is a complementary therapy that is best used alongside other healthcare providers.
Reiki is not a replacement for specialized medical guidance or treatment.
If you’re looking for evidence of the benefits of Reiki for cancer, you’ll find an abundant amount.
There are scientific studies and statistics that help to raise awareness of the power of Reiki.
A 1997 study in the “Cancer Prevention and Control Discussion Paper Series.” It looked at the feasibility of Reiki for managing pain caused by cancer and other issues.
A 2003 article published in the “Journal of Pain and Symptom Management” compared the effects of rest against the effects of Reiki for reducing pain and improving quality of life.
A 2011 article in the “American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (R) ” looked at the role of Reiki for oncology patients in the areas of pain, anxiety and overall wellness.
A 2014 literature review wanted to look at the effects of Reiki on anxiety and pain, and researchers were only able to find seven studies that fit their criteria.
A 2017 study published in “Anticancer Research” examined the effects of a positive mindset on breast cancer patients who received Reiki as a complementary therapeutic intervention. It specifically wanted to determine if self-efficacy for coping with cancer had any effect on the results of Reiki treatments for pre-surgery cancer patients. It did.
Researchers here concluded:
*Those who received the Reiki reported a significant reduction in pain and improved quality of life compared to those who received only rest.
Reiki sessions were helpful for improving:
Participants who received all four Reiki sessions for cancer treatments showed the most significant reductions in pain and anxiety, supporting the idea that Reiki produces cumulative effects when a series of treatments are received.
In addition to highlighting the positive effects of Reiki for cancer, this study underscored the importance of a positive mindset for coping with cancer-related stressors.
Researchers here concluded, “Offering Reiki therapy in hospitals could respond to patients’ physical and emotional needs.”
While scientists may feel the compelling need for more studies, cancer patients don’t have to wait. Experience the benefits of Reiki today for yourself and your family.
However, in spite of its many benefits, it is important to note that Reiki is not a substitute for traditional cancer treatments. Reiki is a complementary therapy that is best used alongside other healthcare providers. Reiki is not a replacement for specialized medical guidance or treatment.
Research on Reiki for oncology patients has received increased interest lately and the topic has been on researchers’ minds for at least the past 25 years. There have been an increasing number of studies published in recent years.
It is common for caregivers, especially family members, to neglect their own needs and health in favor of focusing on the loved one’s needs. Caregivers face many other problems as well, they can face burnout, have trouble performing their work or keeping up with other family responsibilities, have financial troubles, and face other physical and mental health issues.
Studies have found that Reiki has benefited health care workers with burnout. A 2011 study in the journal Biological Research for Nursing found that Reiki sessions offered immediate physiological effects that suggested the treatment affected the parasympathetic nervous system in the participants. The researchers noted that this reaction showed Reiki may encourage relaxation in this population.
Reiki is one tool that may help caregivers with the stress, burnout, depression, and other problems they tend to face, focusing on their mental, physical and spiritual health.
