UCLA Health: integrative care at the bedside
Patients reported less stress and pain and better sleep. Music, aromatherapy, meditation and Reiki were combined, so these experiences do not isolate Reiki’s effect.
UCLA bedside support
The 2022 report follows Tammy Litrov’s roughly 20-minute session: permission, calming music, optional lavender, body-scan meditation and light-touch/hands-off Reiki. Patients describe less stress or pain and better sleep. Observations concern the combined programme, without isolating Reiki’s effects.
Editorial perspective
This example makes a warm, calm space within hospital care tangible. Positive patient feedback is valuable; because music, meditation, aroma and Reiki were combined, the experience concerns the whole visit.
