Reiki (霊気) (/ˈreɪkiː/) is a form of alternative medicine developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui.[1][2] Since originating in Japan, reiki has been adapted into varying cultural traditions across the world. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a "universal energy" is allegedly transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.

Reiki is a pseudoscience.[1] It is based on qi ("chi"), which practitioners say is a universal life force, although there is no empirical evidence that such a life force exists.[3][4] Director of the McGill University Office for Science & Society said that it isn’t even theoretically possible to have blocked and unblocked energy flowing around at the cellular level of the body[5]. Clinical research has not shown reiki to be effective as a medical treatment for any medical condition.[3] There has been no proof of the effectiveness of reiki therapy beyond the placebo effect. An overview of reiki investigations found that studies reporting positive effects had methodological flaws. The American Cancer Society stated that reiki should not be a replacement for conventional cancer treatment,[6] a sentiment echoed by Cancer Research UK[7] and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.[8]
