Energy medicine refers to any complementary health approach which involves restoring the energy of the body and thus bringing about wellness and includes various techniques including acupuncture, qi gong, yoga, kinesiology, Reiki, and crystal healing. The basic concept is that there is an energy force within the body that can become weakened or imbalanced. This can lead to a variety of physical conditions. Manipulating this biofield can mean restoring balance in the body organs and systems. Energy medicine is a putative medicine, meaning, it is subtle energy which cannot be measured using traditional biophysical means such as measureable wavelengths or vibrations.
According to the U.S. National Institute of Health, energy medicine is seen as a branch of complementary and alternative medicine. It is one of 5 categories, the other 4 categories being: whole medical systems (eg. naturopathic medicine), mind-body medicine such as biofeedback, practices that are biologically based such as herbology, and manipulative practices such as massage.
