Integrative therapies are increasingly being used alongside traditional medical treatments. Healing Touch, guided imagery, aromatherapy, and other evidence- based practices are available throughout the Scripps system, offering patients additional options to address pain, anxiety, nausea, and recovery from surgery. In Healing Touch, specially trained nurses use an energy-based, noninvasive treatment to help reduce pain and relieve anxiety. It’s grounded in the belief that gentle therapeutic touch may support a person’s own self-healing. Click here to learn more about how Healing Touch and other integrative therapies are used.
