► Benefits of Reiki: what are they and how do they work?

Much is said about how Reiki therapy works and what the benefits are. But there’s always that question: what are the health benefits of Reiki? Are they proven?

Although many people use Reiki in healing processes, it is important to note that it does not replace conventional medical treatment, but works as an auxiliary therapy even in hospitals to relieve patients.

What is Reiki and what is it for?

Reiki is a divine healing energy discovered by Mikao Usui in Japan over a century ago and that benefits people not just in their physical bodies. The purpose of Reiki is also to heal emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc.

In other words, Reiki works holistically and encompasses the human being as an integrated whole, and can be used as a complementary therapy, helping in the conventional treatment of various diseases, as well as for the cure of small day-to-day illnesses.
