Power of Energy Medicine

Practitioners of energy medicine believe that illness results from disturbances of these subtle energies (the biofield, An energy field that is proposed to surround and flow throughout the human body and play a role in health. Biofields have not been measured by conventional instruments. Reiki and qi gong are examples of therapies that involve biofields.). For example, more than 2,000 years ago, Asian practitioners postulated that the flow and balance of life energies are necessary for maintaining health and described tools to restore them. Herbal medicine, acupuncture (Aupuncture is a family of procedures that originated in traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific points on the body by a variety of techniques, including the insertion of thin metal needles though the skin. It is intended to remove blockages in the flow of qi and restore and maintain health., Acupressure - A type of acupuncture that stimulates specific points on the body using pressure applied by the hands., moxibustion - In traditional Chinese medicine, the use of heat from burning the herb moxa on or near the skin at an acupuncture point. Intended to stimulate the flow of qi and restore health., and cupping, for example, are all believed to act by correcting imbalances in the internal biofield, such as by restoring the flow of qi through meridians to reinstate health. Some therapists are believed to emit or transmit the vital energy (external qi) to a recipient to restore health.

Examples of practices involving putative energy fields include:
(a) Reiki and Johrei, both of Japanese origin
(b) Qi gong, a Chinese practice
(c) Healing touch, in which the therapist is purported to identify
imbalances and correct a client's energy by passing his or her hands
over the patient
(d) Intercessory prayer, in which a person intercedes through prayer on
behalf of another

Energy Medicine Involving Putative Energy Fields. The concept that sickness and disease arise from imbalances in the vital energy field of the body has led to many forms of therapy. In TCM, a series of approaches are taken to rectify the flow of qi, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture (and its various versions), qi gong, diet, and behavior changes.

Qi Gong, another energy modality that purportedly can restore health, is practiced widely in the clinics and hospitals of China. Most of the reports were published as abstracts in Chinese, which makes accessing the information difficult.
