What is Reiki Energy Practice?

Reiki is a technique developed in 20th century Japan in which the practitioner places their hands on or near the patient, claiming to transfer 'universal life energy.'

Scientific studies have not shown significant benefit beyond placebo effect. It can be used as supportive for stress reduction and relaxation purposes.

In Turkey, it can only be performed by certified physicians under TCAM regulations. It must never be used in place of conventional medical treatment; 'miracle' claims are unproven.

Symptoms

Stress and anxiety (supportive)
Relaxation support during cancer treatment
Chronic pain (supportive)
Sleep problems (supportive)
General wellness pursuit
Palliative care support

Risk Factors

Risk of discontinuing medical treatment
Fake 'masters' and unauthorized practitioners
Expensive and ineffective training packages
Loss of time in serious illness
'Miracle healing' claims
Financial exploitation
