Due to their cognitive decline, Alzheimer's patients can feel disconnected and frustrated. Reiki offers gentle healing, creating comfort, security, and emotional balance. Reiki’s touch can offer human connection, comforting those with impairments. Enhancing emotional well-being is key to improving the quality of life for Alzheimer‘s patients. Reiki can provide grounding, support, and stability, reducing frustration, fear, and depression.
Despite the lack of a cure, Reiki significantly enhances the quality of life for Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers by effectively managing symptoms. Reiki enhances Alzheimer’s care by promoting relaxation, reducing pain and more. Regular Reiki sessions offer comfort, improving the lives of those with the illness.
A study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of Reiki in enhancing memory and addressing behavioral deficiencies in patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's disease.
The four-week study involved weekly Reiki sessions administered to a control group. The results revealed statistical improvements in mental functioning, as well as in memory and behavioral issues following the Reiki treatment.
These findings suggest that Reiki therapy shows promise for alleviating specific memory and behavior challenges in individuals with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's disease, potentially offering significant societal benefits by reducing the need for medication and hospitalization.
