Alternative Medicine - Energy Medicine

Energy Medicine is any Energetic Medicine and Quantum Medicine is explained in the language of Quantum Physics. Energetic Medicine is defined within the model of consciousness or the mind/body/spirit model.

Energy Medicine involves therapies that affect energy fields that defy measurement yet affect the mind, body, emotions and spirit. These therapies are based on the concept that human beings are infused with a subtle form of vital energy. This vital energy, Qi/Chi or life force is known under different names in different cultures, with different systems of application. The vital energy force is called Qi/Chi in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ki in the Japanese Kampo system, Doshas in Ayurvedic medicine, and elsewhere known as prana, etheric energy, fohat, orgone, odic force, mana, homeopathic resonance and chakra.

Vital energy flows throughout all aspects of the human body, but it has not been unequivocally measured by means of conventional Western Medical instrumentation. Nonetheless, therapists from all of the different systems can work with this subtle energy, some can feel it, some can see it with their own eyes, and all can use it to effect changes in the physical body to influence health and well-being.

Practitioners of Energy Medicine believe that illness results from disturbances of the subtle energies or biofield. For example, more than 2,000 years ago, Taoist practitioners used various techniques to regulate, balance, strengthen and harmonize the flow of Qi/Chi the vital life energy to maintain balance, health and described tools and techniques to rejuvenate, repair and restore health. Qi Gong, acupuncture, acupressure, moxibustion, cupping and herbal medicine are available by the practitioner to correct imbalances and obstructions in the internal biofield, or meridians to reinstate health. Some therapists can emit or transmit the vital energy (external qi) to a recipient to restore health.

Ayurveda, which literally means “the science of life,” is another energy natural healing system developed in India. Ayurvedic Medicine is a comprehensive system of medicine that places equal emphasis on the body, mind, and spirit, and strives to restore the innate harmony of the individual. Some of the primary Ayurvedic treatments include diet, exercise, meditation, herbs, massage, exposure to sunlight, and controlled breathing. In India, Ayurvedic treatments have been developed for various diseases (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and neurological disorders).Other examples of practices involving energy fields include Charka, Reiki and Johrei, both of Japanese origin.
