Dear Members,

This seems like a great place to start for anyone wanting an overview of Complementary Therapies.

That site has a lot of great info! I have it bookmarked now because Im particularly interested in the infertility section.

I had a quick look but I couldnt see Reiki there. Would this be classified as a complimentary therapy?

Hi Jay,

I believe that you class Reiki as a complimentary therapy, but don't take my word for it! What were you interested in using it for?

Yep I'd say Reiki as a complementary therapy - and I'm sure my Mum who is (among other things) Reiki therapist would too!

Hey vigo,

Maybe you could explain it to us? What is it?

My fiance does Reiki and helps to get rid of my migraines and other pains. How he explained it to me was:

With Reiki, energy gets channelled through the palms of the hands and when the Reiki Therapist lays their hands on you the bad energy from the pain or whatever ailment you have gets channelled away from the body.

Hi Jay,

So is 'Reiki' the energy or the technique? Also is there any science behind it?

'Waiting to learn' Very Happy

Great information on that site. I am a great fan of massage as my 4 year old son can easily become stressed but to calm him down I give him a gentle massage on his back. He loves the relaxing feeling and it also realaxes me as I know he is happier Smile

I found the site very informative. The main picture amazed me though. I would like to try that type of therapy once; I wonder if it hurts. But then, I guess that would eliminate the idea of therapy if there is pain involved, am I correct or wrong?

The main picture shows acupuncture. And no, it doesn't hurt!

Not normally, but trust me a patient with Fibromyalgia who happens to have a trigger point under a Fibromyalgia tender point under an acupuncture point then it bloody well hurts! Laughing

Not a typical response of course, but it did have me on the floor screaming for several minutes. Didn't put me off acupuncture though Smile

Thank you for correcting me on that point!

You may want to use non-invasive alternatives. EFT is a great one, because you can do it yourself, which means you can vary the pressure and indeed the points to suit your own body.

Check out the EFT sections on this forum, or the main EFT website
www.emofree.com

Other non-invasive treatments such as Reiki and aromatherapy hold good promise, too.

I'm just starting to learn EFT, seems interesting. I think I had something like it done several years ago, but unfortunately the practitioner wasn't very good.

Reiki is excellent, my Mum is a qualified practitioner, I can't tolerate 'hands on' Reiki, but remote-healing by Reiki has been pretty effective.

Now I understand what acupunture is from the link. How does sticking needles in your body help you feel better? This sounds like something Asians would traditionally do.

Are you familiar with the concept of Qi (or Chi)? Chi is thought to be our life energy flowing in pathways not dissimilar to blood vessels in our body.

We get ill when the flow of our Chi gets disrupted.

"Sticking needles in your body" in specific accupuncture points along your body's chi pathways (there are well over 300) depending on your ailment, helps restore the normal flow of chi and thus, helps you feel better
