Energy medicine is a branch of alternative therapy based on a pseudo-scientific belief that healers can channel 'healing energy' into a patient and obtain positive results. The main aim of energy medicine is to balance prana, the vital force. Three researchers in the 1980s coined the term energy medicine.
What Is Energy Medicine?
Energy medicine works on the concept of prana (or) the vital force that governs a person's health.
Energy medicine often proposes that imbalance in the body's "energy field'' result in illness and that the body's energy-field health can be restored by re-balancing.
Classification Of Energy Medicine
The US-based NCCI (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health) classified energy medicine as "veritable energy medicine'' and "putative energy medicine''.
Veritable energy medicine uses mechanical vibration and electromagnetic radiation to affect health and healing. It includes magnet therapy, colourpuncture and light therapy.
Energy medicine is established on the view that humans can influence subtle forms of energy with their hands, intentions (or) meditation. It includes spiritual healing touch, hands of light and esoteric healing.
