Now a days, people have a tight work-life schedule and cannot take out time for rigorous exercises.

According to me, Steam bath has now, hence, become a necessity for modern life.

  • In steam bath special cabinets are designed. Patient is placed under this cabinet.
  • It can eliminate body toxins by inducing perspiration.
  • It will also relive joint pains and other pains of the body.
  • It improves blood circulation and metabolism. It also makes your skin looks fresh young looking and healthy.
  • Various ailments like arthritis, muscle pains are also relived. It also helps in reducing body weight.
  • It is good for emotional health. It may not be good for patient of asthma during acute attack and pt with heart trouble.
  • Care must be taken for the person with sensitive skin. It should not be used in case of injury, wound, skin allergy and skin rashes.

Also have attached below a very useful info on Steam bath.

Acupressure and Reiki

Filed under: Alternative Medicines — 3 Comments
January 20, 2013

As a Reiki therapist many times I have been asked this question: “Madam can I continue my current medication ? Will it affect the result of Reiki?

My one and only answer to this question is:  “No need to restrict any treatment while undergoing Reiki Treatment. If any, Reiki will only have complimentary effects if taken along with other Treatments and improvement can be beyond expectation. But no side affects at all”.

Another Complimentary Treatment working in unison with Reiki is Acupressure. Some of the similarities in Reiki and Acupressure are as follows : 1) To Treat the Person and not only Disease/Disorder. 2) Body and Mind are inseparable 3) Energy of 5 Elements/ Chi . 4) To help body regain its natural healing power 5) Release of Toxic matters from the body.

A notable difference is that acupressure has to apply some pressure on body for the treatment, whereas Reiki does not need to apply any pressure. Also Acupressure needs to be applied at specific points only whereas Reiki does not have that limitation. Following article provides good amount of information on Acupressure.

Gradual Acceptance of Reiki Therapy in Mainstream Medicine – 5

Filed under: Alternative Medicines, Reiki (General Info) — 2 Comments
January 2, 2013

In my experience as a Reiki Therapist, I found it surprising for many people, when i was able to detect the hidden causes of their troubles/suffering, whether realized/unrealized by them.

For ex : When a patient was being treated for Intense Headache, during physical examination, disturbances were found in Solar Plexus. She was suffering constipation and that was the reason for headache.

Apart from these, during other treatments, many such other feelings of anxiety/fear/mood disturbances/emotional upsets/willingness or unwillingness for the session/ etc… were noticed.

The reason being,  in Reiki Therapy, it is the Recipient’s body itself, which draws the energy and the Reiki healer , hence , becomes eventual to the actual disturbances. Moreover, if the Recipient is unwilling for the treatment, Reiki itself stops flowing, hence reciprocating the feeling.

Pasted below , is one another important link for Clear understanding of Reiki :

Gradual Acceptance of Reiki Therapy in Mainstream Medicine – 4

Filed under: Alternative Medicines, Reiki (General Info) — 7 Comments
October 31, 2012

  • Reiki masters and healers are always trying to explain , scientific bases of reiki, it‘s heightened effectiveness on physical, psychological and emotional level.
  • Also, at the same time, there are increasing number of studies being conducted by scientists and researchers, and their research has proved time and again, that reiki does work at all levels.
  • Following article is “The Ultimate” answer to all questions raised on reiki and it‘s concept.
  • Another important thing about Reiki is that, It has place in alternative medicine from the time it is introduced. And now this therapy is gaining exponential momentum in mainstream medicine also, at all level, namely Physical, Mental, and Emotional.

http://www.reiki.org/reikinews/sciencemeasures.htm

Abstract of the article.

“In the early 1980’s, Dr. John Zimmerman began a series of important studies on therapeutic touch, using a SQUID magnetometer at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver. Zimmerman discovered that a huge pulsating biomagnetic field emanated from the hands of a TT( Therapeutic Touch) practitioner.

Confirmation of Zimmerman’s findings came in 1992, when Seto and colleagues, in Japan, studied practitioners of various martial arts and other healing methods. The “Qi emission” from the hands is so strong that they can be detected with a simple magnetometer consisting of two coils, of 80,000 turns of wire. Since then, a number of studies of QiGong practitioners have extended these investigations to the sound, light, and thermal fields emitted by healers.

It is not widely understood that “brain waves” are not confined to the brain, but actually spread throughout the body via the perineural system, the connective tissue sheathes surrounding all of the nerves. Dr. Robert O. Becker has described how this system, more than any other, regulates injury repair processes throughout the body. Hence the entire nervous system acts as an “antenna” for projecting the bio-magnetic pulsations that begin in the brain, specifically in the thalamus.”
