Frequently Asked Questions
6. What is energy medicine?
Energy medicine uses energy fields with the intent to affect
health. Some fields, such as magnetic fields, have been measured.
Others, such as biofields, have not. Therapies involving biofields
are based on the idea that people are infused with a subtle form of
energy; energy medicine practitioners believe that illness results
from disturbances of these subtle energies. Examples of energy
medicine include magnet therapy, healing touch, and Reiki.
