Reiki is fairly flaky. People may like having hands laid on them but the stuff about "energy" is manifest ballocks.Fortunately I don't suffer from arthritis, and am happy with ibuprofen for general inflammation, but my Aunt - a natural remedy advocate - thinks it works wonders in some of her "patients" (she's a Reiki practitioner). Not all, but certainly some.
Oh, I'm with you on that. Probably being too kind to call it merely "flaky"... it's snakeoil that works through the placebo effect. I've long since stopped talking to her about it, lest I incur her wrath!Reiki is fairly flaky. People may like having hands laid on them but the stuff about "energy" is manifest ballocks.
Honestly, I have no idea. Only that she's mentioned it in the past.What does she do with the frankincense? Burn it so they get a nice smell? Or is it applied to the skin in some way, or taken internally?

Just asked her for details: she knows it as Boswellia, and she buys it in capsules - so taken orally. Not sure where this "discussion" is going, though, or whether it was just a closed question. But that's the info I have on the matter.But then, that rather limits where we can take this discussion, I think.
Interestingly it may not be ballocks. This is what the Wiki article has to say:Just asked her for details: she knows it as Boswellia, and she buys it in capsules - so taken orally.

Anyone here using Frankincense to reduce arthritis pain/inflammation?
I'm recognising that some people may feel better, for a bit, after a ritual involving placing hands on their bodies, as I believe is done in a Reiki "treatment" a.k.a. ceremony."fairly" flaky?

Yeah but you're just a dirty old man.For me it is going to be who is placing their hands and where placing them
No ritual involved
Although in his defense, he seems to have a bevy of girlfriends whose combined age still barely comes to half of his.Yeah but you're just a dirty old man.
And I mean old. As in, older than God's dog, according to that picture you sent recently.
So he says. At his age, it could all be in his mind of course........Although in his defense, he seems to have a bevy of girlfriends whose combined age still barely comes to half of his.

You're right.View attachment 5053
Looked up bevy. Definition is large group. I don't think my current group of five is a large group
You're right.
In the context of girlfriends, five is not a bevy; five is an army.
