How Effective Is Energy Healing?

Energy healing is a controversial topic. Some people swear by its effectiveness, while others are skeptical. So, what does the research say?

A 2016 review of the evidence concluded that energy healing is a promising therapy for pain relief, stress reduction, and promotion of healing.” However, the authors cautioned that more research is needed to confirm these findings.

More recently, a small study published in 2019 found that energy healing may help reduce stress and improve well-being. The study involved 30 participants who received either energy healing or sham” energy healing (the participants were not told which they were receiving). The results showed that both groups had similar reductions in stress levels. However, the group receiving energy healing also had better scores on measures of well-being.

While the research on energy healing is still in its early stages, these studies suggest that it may be a helpful complementary treatment for some conditions. If you’re considering energy healing, be sure to consult with a licensed practitioner.
