FAQ: What is Christian Science treatment?

Spiritual resource to share:  answers







Christian Science treatment is prayer-based help given by a Christian Science practitioner. It is based on an understanding of the spiritual nature of God and man and the principles governing the relations of God and man.

When treatment is requested, the patient has given permission for the practitioner to prayerfully treat his or her state of thought.

Thought is the center of life's experiences. And when thought is aligned with the understanding of an omnipotent God as Truth, this has a harmonizing effect on the body and on life's experiences. This brings the goodness, balance and purity already existing in life to the surface and to consciousness.



No two treatments are ever the same, because every case is individual, and the application of the universal laws explained in Christian Science are literally infinite.

Christian Science treatment is purely spiritual and includes the work of a Christian Science practitioner. It may also include the work of a Christian Science nurse and/or being cared for at a Christian Science nursing facility. It does not include any material methods of healing, neither is a Christian Science practitioner licensed to give conventional medical care.



Treatments can be given over the phone, in person or via correspondence. Because the nature of the treatment is with thought,

location and proximity of the person is not required. And because the healing thrust of treatment is through prayer, no physical manipulation or medication is used.

In Christian Science treatment, the patient is in charge of their treatment and determines the length of the treatment. All communications between the patient and practitioner are strictly confidential.
