1. Reflexology
Reflexology is another touch-based therapy, focusing on applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. According to reflexology theory, these points correspond to different body organs and systems, and pressing them has a beneficial effect on the person’s health.
While scientific evidence on reflexology’s effectiveness is mixed, many individuals report significant benefits, including reduced stress and improved mood.
2. Reiki
Reiki, a form of energy healing originated in Japan, involves the laying on of hands to channel energy into the patient’s body. Practitioners of Reiki believe this process can stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. While Reiki is a more esoteric practice with less empirical backing, many recipients report a profound sense of peace and wellbeing following a session.
