The one you seek physical assistance [dr] from should have the same core values and beliefs as yourself and with insurance companies that’s a very limiting scope. I as well agree that frequency makes a huge world of difference in daily living [in general]. Thank goodness for the information available to assist us individually. Sadly, if body falls in crisis & you are normally well…..& don’t have a valid healer….best of luck as I flounder alone.

There’s something called Aroma Therapy as well. Are these things, scientifically proven? Because, these techniques are occupying a niche position in the market. I don’t have an idea about these, and definitely there’s a noise in the people and also companies marketing these things.

Well Manohar there are some evidence based research papers I have seen on various energy medicine. But I am quite skeptical about how authentic are people who are practicing it. Are they really licensed to do it? Did they receive the training?

Thought to ponder upon Garima. I doubt, if normal people understand what license it takes to practice these, And question the credentials of the person who’s practising this therapies.

Found your blog when you liked a post I had on mine, and really glad you brought me here. I feel that too many people are still too quick to judge and make fun of what has essentially been around forever, and what they’ve used as well. Looking forward to reading more.

Reiki is not popular in Japan.
Acupuncture is more popular and the government support it. So , to become “acupuncturist”, it is registered licence, likewise nurse , pharmacist etc.
