These days, people suffering from diseases do not just rely on the conventional treatment methods but also on alternative treatments. One such alternative way of dealing with disease is Reiki, which is an ancient form of Japanese touch therapy. It is a holistic therapy and purports to stimulate positive energy in the body with the help of hand movements and touch. Reiki is commonly used to treat high blood pressure, anxiety, asthma and addictions.

Reiki Helps in Lowering High Blood Pressure

According to Reiki practitioners, high blood pressure is caused due to imbalance in the body’s energy. With the help of massage-like touching movements, the practitioner tries to restore this balance, thus, reducing blood pressure.

Contrary to common belief, Reiki is not an advanced form of massage. It is a proper field and requires years of intense practice. People, who want to try this form of treatment for high blood pressure, need to make sure that their practitioner is authentic. Verify his education and years of training in Reiki. Practitioners are usually given three levels of training, ranging from the basic to the master level. Master of Reiki would obviously be better equipped to deal with different disease.

For the treatment of high blood pressure, usually a series of sessions for 45 to 90 minutes are held.  Before starting the sessions, your Reiki practitioner would most likely take your medical history and ask you questions about your general well-being.

Reiki sessions start from moving hands from the head of the patient and towards the feet.

The practitioner may still his hands on various parts of the body for two to three minutes at a time to transfer his healing energy to the patient’s body. As a result of the practitioner’s touch, the patient may feel a sensation of hotness or coldness.

However, the problem with all alternative treatments is that they mostly are not very effective on their own.  Hence, it is advised to hypertension patients that besides using Reiki, they should also take a medical treatment.
