What is Energy Medicine?
Energy Medicine is a modern catch-all phrase that describes any of a number of natural techniques of healing.
These techniques range from homeopathy to acupuncture and include herbal medicine and direct energy healing such as medical qigong.
The reason they are called Energy Medicine is that they all are based on the concept of overall balance. This holistic approach means that problems are not treated in isolation from the whole person.
Although such techniques often take a bit more time to be effective than more focused approaches, they have far fewer side effects - often none at all - and they address many underlying imbalances at the same time.
