Summary

Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a chronic and progressive kidney disease caused by impaired metabolic and endocrine functions as a result of a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the role of the kidney in maintaining fluid electrolyte balance. KRG, which has high mortality and morbidity, is defined as an important public health problem due to the fact that it also causes a great burden on health systems.

Reiki is not an alternative to allopathic medicine; it is a "complementary" therapy that can be applied together with all other medical and therapeutic techniques. It has been reported that the deep relaxation created by Reiki relieves anxiety, stress and pain perception and promotes a feeling of psycho-spiritual well-being. Reiki strengthens the energy pathways and meridians, facilitates the natural process of healing. It regulates the energy systems of the body that are blocked by stress or a negative situation. Reiki, which is applied for various purposes, ensures that blood and lymph circulation continue in a healthy way, stimulates the autonomic nervous system. In this way, reiki facilitates physical and spiritual relaxation and strengthens health.
