With Cancer comes Chronic Pain and Fear

Reiki is a complimentary and supportive treatment

It’s debilitating, affecting one’s state of mind, ability to work as well as relax.

Chronic pain and fear consumes sufferers.

Thankfully Reiki is becoming more mainstream and people are choosing this form of healing to compliment Western medical care to help ease and manage one’s pain and mental health.

Practitioners are employed by the NHS and hospitals in the USA and Europe to work in Oncology as it has shown to reduce pain and improves one’s mood and quality of life. Balancing emotions helps the body focus on healing.

Because Reiki is a non-invasive technique that causes no side effects or complications, it can be performed on cancer patients at virtually any time following their diagnosis.

Whether the patient is newly diagnosed and waiting to begin treatment, is actively undergoing treatment, or is in the late stages of cancer and facing a poor prognosis, Reiki has proven to be beneficial.

Reiki is also effective at reducing anxiety and inducing relaxation and balance among patients who are in in remission after completing cancer treatments.

Hospitals provide Reiki for their patients

Scientific evidence has shown that Reiki can minimize patients symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Research carried out at the Hartford Hospital in Connecticut, revealed that Reiki improved the sleep pattern of patients by 86 percent, reduced levels of pain and nausea by 78 percent and 80 percent, respectively.

Hospitals and clinics across Australia and the U.S. are beginning to acknowledge Reiki as a meaningful way to improve patient care. The NHS in the UK also employ reiki practitioners in oncology departments.

California Pacific Medical Centre, one of the largest hospitals that state, offers a range of complementary therapies, including acupuncture homeopathy, aromatherapy and Reiki, for acute and chronic illnesses.

The International Association of Reiki Professionals shows that Dr. Michael Cantwell, a paediatrician at California Pacific Medical Centre, uses Reiki in the “treatment of acute illnesses such as musculoskeletal injury, pain, headache, acute infections and asthma.”
