Reiki is one of the oldest methods of treatment offered to patients ailing with different complaints. It is a Japanese word which means ‘Life Energy’. This method does not require any equipments, instruments or harsh practices. Hands are used in this process. Experienced Reiki professionals who are also called as Reiki masters use this method to treat people suffering with different diseases and disorders.

Reiki was instigated by a Japanese Theologist, Dr. Mikao Usui. He was the first to treat patients using his hands with positive energy from his body. He believes in relaxing the patients before and during the treatment. During the treatment one feels very light and disconnected. One would feel the difference after the treatment only if he or she believes in the therapy.

This therapy can be done to any one irrespective of age and sex. The duration of the session depends on the intensity of the illness and the person receiving it. One may not necessarily suffer from a severe illness to receive this remedy. Even minor problems such as headache, common cold, back pain and fatigue can be cured with Reiki. In the rehabilitation centers and anti-drug organizations this therapy is widely used to help the patients get rid of the age old vicious activities such as drug intake, alcohol and chain smoking. The practitioners assist the patients with regular sessions to come out of the depression and panic attacks one faces during the process of rehabilitation.
