Effectiveness

Only a few studies exist on the effectiveness of Reiki. Although some indication of a positive effect of regular Reiki treatments, for example in the treatment of depression, but lack of independent scientific review of the results. Therefore, they can be considered as an indication of a possible positive effect.

The use of Reiki for life-threatening conditions such as bleeding or shock is in danger of inadequate treatment. Even people with mental illnesses should be dispensed with a Reiki treatment, since the philosophy of reiki could trigger relapses.
