Reiki, energy healing, and other complimentary modalities for addressing dis-ease in whole person healing received attention in hospitals in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. There were studies and a growing body of evidence that people benefited from reiki added on to prescribed medical treatments. New research is now being done, with more ways to measure outcomes. Reiki is again being recognized as beneficial in addressing particular symptoms and discomfort. There is more research on the horizon.
