Energy Medicine

Energy therapies make use of energy fields, separated into two types; the first is Biofield Therapies, which are used to affect the energy fields that bind and penetrate the human body. No scientific (observable) evidence has been found to support them, which is what makes some professionals skeptical. Some forms of Energy Medicine therapies involve the professional applying pressure or manipulating the body by placing their hands on these fields, as it is done in qi gong, Reiki, and Therapeutic Touch. The second type of energy medicine is Bioelectromagnetic-Based Therapies, which engage the unconventional use of electromagnetic fields, such as magnetic fields, pulsed fields, or alternating-current or direct-current fields to affect the body.
