The Kuwaiti Ministry of Health has officially banned so-called energy healing practices, including Reiki, chakra balancing, and the law of attraction, categorizing them as organized quackery lacking scientific validity. Observers, such as Dr. Mohammed Al-Awadi, argue that these methods are dangerous because they replace medical treatments with alternative philosophies, leading to severe health complications for patients. Experts like family consultant Amna Aichouni further warn that these techniques, rooted in Buddhist and Hindu traditions, undermine family structures and conflict with religious doctrines. In Algeria, there are growing calls for stricter regulations within the health sector to prevent the spread of these practices, which often masquerade as legitimate therapy while lacking any clinical evidence or scientific support.
