REIKI in Hospitals Reiki is a method of stress reduction that also promotes healing. Lay practitioners have used it for more than 90 years, and its popularity is growing. A recent study indicates that in 2002, over one million adults in the US received one or more Reiki sessions. Physicians and nurses are beginning to recognize its value and have begun adding it to services provided by hospitals, medical clinics, and hospice programs. They indicate that Reiki reduces stress, decreases the need for pain medication, improves sleep and appetite, and accelerates the healing process. They also indicate that Reiki reduces many of the unwanted side effects of radiation and drugs, including chemotherapy. Clearly, Reiki can be very beneficial in a hospital setting.
