Healing Touch is an energy modality developed by nurses to enhance patient care; it is an eclectic combination of energy techniques drawn together by different sources. Healing Touch promotes health by restoring communication between the cells. Another theory is based on the principles of quantum physics.

Healing Touch involves the practitioner’s use of mental intention and the placement of hands in specific sequences either on the body or above it in the recipient’s energy field. Healing Touch also includes the movement of the hands through the bio-field to influence the flow or circulation of energy in various ways.
