Healing Touch


Healing touch is a form of alternative medicine based on the belief that a vital energy flows through the human body. This energy is said to be balanced or made stronger by practitioners who pass their hands over a patient's body. Healing touch is being studied in patients receiving cancer treatments to find out if it can improve quality of life, boost the immune system or reduce side effects.
