Standard Evaluation Method of Non-contact Healing Using Biophotons

Abstract

This study evaluates the effects ofnon-contact healing such as laying-on-ofihands and prayer using biophotons, Pairs (control and sample) of a cucumber (Cueumis sativust were measured with a highly sensitive detector for l8 h, and the intensity of biophotons from the experimental sample was compared with the control. Measurements were done for three groups, non-treatment, healing treatrnent, and thermal treatment in which experimental samples were stressed in a heat pool at 40eC. There was no difference in the intensity between the experimental samples and controls in the non-treatment and thermal treatment groups. However, in the healing group, the intensity of biophotons from the experimental samples was significantly greater than the controls Cp =t O,O02, two-tailed paired t-test). In addition, quantitative evaluation for the effect ofnon-contact healing was possible by using, as an index, a logarithm ofthe ratio ofintensities ofbiophotons from experimental sarnples and controls,
