Reiki Treatment and Health Benefits | Healing Touch Therapy for Pain Relief

Reiki and Healing Touch Therapy:

A group of researchers have found out, that, a soothing, and gentle touch can ease away pain.
The researchers have said, that gently stroking the skin helps to activate the ‘pleasure’ nerves that lie under the skin, and, have the capacity to decrease painful sensation of other nerves.


The study that was conducted showed that when an individual was exposed to a painful stimulus, such as, excessive temperature on the skin surface, they felt lesser pain, if a gentle stroke, was applied simultaneously.
From this study, the researchers have concluded that the human brain prefers the soothing signals compared to the painful signals and hence the “soothing” signals from the nerves that sense the gentle stroke reduce the intensity of “painful” signals from the nerves that sense pain.

Francis Mcglone is a leading neuroscientist at the Liverpool University. He has calculated the correct “way of touch” which can bring about maximum pleasure. He suggests that the best way to stroke, to create a sense of pleasure, is to do it slowly and with and slight pressure.
He also stated that there were 2 different sets of nerves, one for pleasurable touch and one for painful touch.
Mcglone stresses on the importance of touch in children. He has said that touch is very vital for children as they grow, and an inadequate physical contact, during the growing up phase could lead to depression in later life.
