Aust J Holist Nurs. 2002 Apr;9(1):22-32.

Abstract

This paper argues for the introduction of Pranic Healing (PH), an energy-based complementary healing technique, within clinical nursing practice. It explores the ideological foundation of PH and its potential to promote clients' well-being. Selected 'scientific discoveries' supporting the efficacy of energy therapies, such as PH, are noted.
