Healing Touch is being used in hospitals, as well as other health care facilities around the world. It has been found to be beneficial in every aspect of healing: this includes physical, psychological, emotional, as well as spiritual benefits, so the possibilities of using Healing Touch within these settings are limitless.

Healing Touch therapy is one of the fastest growing forms of Energy Medicine. It's a complementary therapy option that promotes relaxation and decreases anxiety and discomfort that promotes stress reduction, relaxation and pain control.   It assists patients both in the hospital and in their continued recovery after leaving the hospital as well as becoming a means of promoting wellness. 

Why Choose Healing Touch?  Patients in the hospital setting experience many stressors (e.g. anxiety, pain, sleeplessness, nausea, fatigue, etc.) that can undermine the function of the immune system and interfere with healing. Patients are asking for Healing Touch as a healing option.

Healing Touch has attracted the attention of the National Institutes of Health. Studies funded by the NIH are looking at the effect of energy work on joint disorders, wrist fractures, cardiovascular health, cancer, wound healing, neonatal stress, pain, fibromyalgia and AIDS. Some studies have suggested positive effects on various orthopedic conditions, including fractures, arthritis and injuries to the muscle and connective tissue.

Healing Touch is a simple relaxation or energy balancing technique. Doctors have been known to tell their patients that are receiving Healing Touch to continue sessions since they see the benefits of it. Interestingly, there are many doctors that have taken Healing Touch classes as well.

Because of the effects and overall benefits, some people have found that they might require less medication. All medication adjustments should be done under the supervision of their doctor.

Cancer patients claim that Healing Touch has helped with pain management, relaxation, and side effects of treatment like nausea and stomach upset.

Healing Touch classes and sessions are often offered in hospitals. Many RN's are Healing Touch practitioners as well.
 

Healing Touch practitioners are frequently asked to provide this service to patients. Some feedback from patients:

"Being in the hospital is stressful enough, but having a major operation is very, very stressful! Healing Touch was extremely helpful for stress and pain relief. Thank You!"

"Even with drugs I had difficulty relaxing, but with the Healing Touch experience I was able to completely relax. What a great service to provide in hospitals. It opens people’s minds to alternative methods of healing. It was great!"

"Our dad who is under a lot of stress with his diagnosis was quite surprised to have fallen asleep with Healing Touch. It was a great feeling to see him at peace during a most difficult time. Thank you!"

"The Healing Touch provided me with practically the only relief I had during a rather painful four days in the hospital. First time I am without back pain in weeks! I feel wonderful!"

"I felt extremely relaxed. Cramping in my legs and knees was greatly released."

Healing Touch does no harm. It is at its simplest, a relaxation technique which relaxes the body, mind, and spirit, all of which are beneficial to healing any condition. There have not been any  cases of Healing Touch interacting with medications; on the contrary, Healing Touch has even been known to aid with side effects from anesthesia, radiation treatment and chemotherapy. Most people experience less nausea and recovered quicker.
