Reiki

Reiki is a wellness practice of energy healing that began in Japan and is now practiced throughout the world. The principle of Reiki is that everything in the universe consists of energy including the human body, and deviations of this energy can lead to disease (Doğan 2018). Reiki does not have a religious doctrine and is accepted by people of all backgrounds and belief systems (McManus, 2017, p. 1056). Reiki is considered by practitioners to be a great tool for stress reduction and relaxation (International Association of Reiki Practitioners). Many people use Reiki for wellness. Reiki is not a cure for a disease or illness, but it may assist the body in creating an environment to facilitate healing. According to the Center for Reiki Research, Reiki is an effective approach for reducing pain, depression, and anxiety. Tinnitus is a pain percept, and it is likely Reiki may reduce pain and anxiety in patients with tinnitus.
