Reiki Helps Gout I'm writing you from Quebec Montreal where I’ve been practicing Reiki for 15 years now. My mother was very sick recently with a gout crisis, an accumulation of uric acid in the articulation of the big toe. After almost two weeks of treatment by the doctor, she still couldn't walk. I went to her place, which is three hours away from my home, and gave her two treatments on her foot. The following day she was able to walk again! Reiki is a wonderful healing tool, which I’m happy to tell others about.
