“First off, try Reiki. This alternative medicine treatment can manipulate your energy and cure what ails you"
- Dr. Oz
Reiki In Medicine
Dr. Oz said, "We're beginning now to understand things that we know in our hearts are true but we could never measure. As we get better at understanding how little we know about the body, we begin to realize that the next big frontier in medicine is energy medicine. It's not the mechanistic part of the joints moving. It's not the chemistry of our body. It's understanding for the first time how energy influences how we feel." - Dr. Oz
The quality of health care depends in part on the accuracy of information published in medical journals. The peer-review process is designed to maintain scientifically credible information and research standards. Papers are critiqued and approved by at least two experts (usually researchers or physicians) prior to being accepted for publication.
The following are Reiki research and papers published in peer-reviewed medical journals and indexed on PubMed. All of the papers mentioned in the citations have been carefully vetted.
There is much hype on the internet about Reiki research, and I encourage you not to get caught up in it. You can be confident that these medical links, papers and the articles referred to in them are credible. A PubMed search will lead you to the abstracts of articles cited in the papers below:
