Srgallan....I think you are probably talking about me. I post a ton about Healing Touch. It is different than Therapeutic Touch, but similar. Healing Touch is endorsed by the American Holistic nurses Association and practiced at more than 100 hospitals nationwide (that we know of). Its basically Acupuncture without the needles. Both are energy therapies. The goal is to restore normal flow of energy or chi (qi) in both Acupuncture and Healing Touch.
There have also been about a 100 research studies published on the effects of Healing Touch. One just came out last month in Military Medicine magazine about Healing Touch and PTSD. The findings were astounding!!! The group who got Healing Touch had significant improvement in symptoms, quality of life, and less depression and nightmares. Its a huge study that was done by my hospital system and some of my Healing Touch instructors.

My depression lifted after getting healing touch, along with my headaches subsiding. I am now getting certified to become a Healing Touch Practitioner!
I live in San Diego, and every hospital in San Diego has a Healing Touch nurse who gives treatments to patients in the hospital to help with pain, anxiety, depression, after chemotherapy, nausea, etc. It is very widely used and accepted and I am a clear case of how powerful it is since I went from 10/10 headaches everyday to feeling amazing with regular treatments along with doing treatments to myself every night. I'm off all medications and healthier and happier than I have ever been in my life!

Heres a link to the abstract and story about Healing Touch and PTSD! If you want to find someone who can do Healing Touch on you, you can find a practitioner on www.healingtouchinternational.org

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
