How Practicing Reiki Helps Treat Autoimmune Diseases

The Role Reiki Plays in Treating Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases can strike people regardless of age or background. The symptoms of these diseases vary from mild to severe, eventually decreasing the individual’s quality of life. Different treatments exist depending on the type of disease. However, those suffering from autoimmune diseases may also benefit from an alternative therapy and form of healing called “Reiki”.

What Are Autoimmune Diseases?

Autoimmune diseases arise from immune system complications. The immune system is responsible for protecting the body from harmful invaders such as bacteria and viruses. However, in some individuals, the immune system is unable to differentiate between external materials and the body’s own tissues. When this happens, the immune system may attack the body’s own tissues which cause the individual to develop autoimmune diseases. There are different types of autoimmune diseases such as Grave’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and celiac disease. In most cases, these diseases can be controlled with continuous media treatments.

What is Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese alternative therapy that harnesses the healing powers of spiritual energy to heal the body and restore health. This method holds that issues with the body are caused by disturbed or blocked energy pathways. Reiki seeks to normalize and restore these pathways in order for the energy to flow uninterrupted. Trained Reiki practitioners use various hand positions to stimulate the flow of the individual’s own energy. In a Reiki session, the practitioner will place his or her hands lightly or slightly above the client, using hand positions that last for around five minutes each.

Benefits of Reiki for Individuals with Autoimmune Diseases

Individuals suffering from autoimmune diseases may benefit from Reiki a variety of ways such as:

Alleviate Pain

Pain is one of the most debilitating symptoms for those suffering from autoimmune diseases. For instance, Individuals with rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis experience regular periods of pain. Many patients who received Reiki treatments notice that they feel fewer pain sensations.

Enhanced Physical and Emotional Balance

A significant number of Reiki clients say the sessions help improve their physical and emotional balance. This balance allows people to easily manage their chronic illnesses and improves their day-to-day experience.

Reduces Anxiety and Helps with Depression

Individuals with autoimmune diseases tend to suffer from both anxiety and depression. The stress of living with such painful symptoms causes patients to experience anxiety and sadness for longer and regular periods of time. Studies have proven that regular Reiki sessions play a part in decreasing anxiety and improves the mood of clients which ultimately benefits their overall condition.

Enhanced Immune Function

A large number of patients suffering from autoimmune diseases say they noticeably feel a reduction in their symptoms after performing Reiki treatment sessions. In addition, Reiki is a low-risk alternative healing option that’s natural, non-invasive, and painless. Many individuals with autoimmune diseases laud the benefits of Reiki as a valuable addition to their treatment routine.
