Response of Chronic Headaches to Reiki

Updated: Jul 6, 2020

Here, I share specific cases of chronic headaches that were resolved after 1 reiki session.


Case 1

Disease: chronic headache in the temporal area, in this case, the client did not search for medical advice.

Symptoms/ complaints: Every day the client suffered a consistent headache at the temporal area which in her words she described it as “it bothered her a lot”. Approximately, every second week the pain was stronger expanding from the temporal area towards the superior and lateral orbital area.

Duration of complaints: for 2 years.

Previous treatments during the last 2 years: During the consistent headache, the client ingested Ibuprofen once a week. And when she suffered stronger pain, she ingested ibuprofen 2x per day for 2-3 days.

Reiki session: 1 reiki session of 15 minutes comprising only the head. The reiki session was performed for a longer period at the orbital area (eyes) and briefly at the crown (parietal/ frontal lobes) and the temporal area.

Results: The client experienced a headache relief of 100% immediately after the reiki session. After 7 months, the client still does not suffer headaches and does not ingest pain killers.

Case 2

Type of headache: Exercise-induced migraine.

Symptoms/complaints: Every day the client suffers a consistent headache. He cannot laugh without feeling pain. He describes his pain as a “never-ending headache”. The prescribed pain killers make him feel numb and the headache remains behind the numbness feeling.

Duration of complaints: for 2 months.

Previous treatments during the last 2 months: The client did not ingest any pain killers. The neurologist booked an MRI scan where they found a thickened vessel which caused the pain, therefore the neurologist prescribed pain killers. The client tried Reiki as an alternative because he didn't want to ingest the medicine.

Reiki session: 1 reiki session of 90 minutes.

Results: The client experienced a headache relief of 70% immediately after the reiki session. The following weeks he experienced few headaches and after a couple of months, the headache disappeared completely.

Please note that there is no scientific proof that Reiki treatments can result in physical and/or emotional improvements. It is also not clear the number of sessions necessary to achieve a positive result. For more details please read the blog "Reiki-me disclaimer".
