Reiki Treatment, Anyone Tried It?

Anyone tried Reiki treatment.

 

Don't waste your money. Someone touching your head is not a treatment

Self relaxation/awareness training like qi-gong or autogenic training is one thing and it works for many people... but having someone just touch your head because you believe him to have healing powers. That's not something you need to waste your money on. Hocus pocus.

 

@Karen @snow86. I suppose when a person uses any type of health treatments and see an improvement in there symptoms they maybe experiencing the placebo effect.

 

Getting tinnitus treated using Reiki is about as probable as getting dead from the five point palm exploding heart technique.

 

If we are desperate we will try anything that won't kill us.

 

I know your post is from a long time ago Richard, but yes I have tried Reiki & it's definitely helped, but not yet cured. I have used it in conjunction with Bowen Therapy... the therapist for both is the same person.

She advertises & runs a business with her B.T. She does NOT advertise or push Reiki, I asked her if she knew who did Reiki on my 1st B.T. session with her & she answered that she did as an automatic response, not as an upsell of her abilities. I have had tinnitus for more than 5 years, when I 1st had it, it was at screaming levels, especially between 2am & 4am, it would wake me from sleep.

I saw a doctor about it, she suggested I take 5 days of Sudafed & use a nasal wash, that did help a little, at least to the point where where it didn't wake me in the wee hours most nights.

I then tried acupuncture... again, I had I got a little more relief.

Then I met my Bowen Therapist / Reiki Practitioner & I have been really WOWED by the results.
I went to her for a bad back believe it or not, & now my ears are way improved!
I have actually had some truly quiet times... only for a minute or 2... what a blessing!

Generally the tinnitus has way lowered in pitch, although it often ramps up around 3pm.
It's an ongoing process, my practitioner & I are hoping for a total cure, but if I don't get it, then I'm pretty happy with how I am feeling at the moment.

I have only been seeing this person for roughly 9 months & the difference she has made to me has been nothing short of amazing, I can live with my ears happily, my back is GREAT, I am feeling physically mentally, emotionally, spiritually healthy. It has been a process, & not cured in 1 or 2 goes.

I would recommend trying Reiki, & if you can find a therapist that combines Bowen & Reiki... well even better.

Here's what I found about Bowen:

"In 2015 the Australian Government's Department of Health published the results of a review of alternative therapies that sought to determine if any were suitable for being covered by health insurance; Bowen Technique was one of 17 therapies evaluated for which no clear evidence of effectiveness was found.[1] Quackwatch includes "Neuro-Structural Integration Technique (Bowen Therapy)" in its list of "questionable treatments."

 

@Carolyn

Reiki is pseudoscience. It does not make any sense, and part of the curse of tinnitus is getting mixed with all these fake treatments, and that includes many that look more reputable than this one.

I have no doubts Reiki and Bowen therapy might help. How are you doing today?
