Healing Touch
Healing Touch is an energy-based therapy that supports the body's natural healing process. At Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Healing Touch practitioners use gentle movements of their hands - either lightly touching the body or several inches above it - to sooth and balance the energy field. Healing touch assists in creating an environment of safety and harmony to soothe and comfort a frightened child.
Benefits for children:
- Relieves pain
- Promotes relaxation
- Reduces anxiety and stress
- Supports the body's natural healing process
- Prepares the child for medical treatments, procedures and surgery
- Increases energy
- Provides comfort for patients who are dying
