O uso do reiki como terapia complementar no equilibrio da saúde e bem estar animal

Abstract

Reiki therapy in animals represents a complementary integrative therapy that can significantly contribute to the promotion of physical and emotional well-being in animals, as well as improve the bond between the caregiver and the animal. This study aimed to investigate the effects of distance Reiki therapy on animals with various behavioral and physical disorders through an experimental approach, complementing conventional treatment and providing additional benefits to animal health and welfare. Four clinical cases involving dogs and cats, both male and female, aged 1 to 6 years, without defined breeds, referred by a veterinarian, were selected. Behavioral and physical changes were evaluated before and after each session, with owners using a 0 to 10 scale to record observed changes. If the animal showed improvement after four sessions, it was considered ready for discharge, and the condition was closed as positive, indicating a response to treatment. After all sessions, all animals showed significant improvements in clinical signs such as stress, anxiety, phobias, depression, itching, alopecia, urinary incontinence, and seizures. These results highlight the potential effectiveness of Reiki as a complementary therapy in veterinary medicine, promoting animal well-being through integrated holistic approaches. Reiki therapy was intended to assist in parallel and enchesse the medical treatment, although in some cases, it led to a cure for the animal.
