Energy medicine recognizes energy as a vital, living, moving force
that can determine much about your health, function, and well-being. In energy medicine, energy is the medicine,
and energy is also the patient. You heal the body by activating its natural healing energies; you also heal the body
by restoring energies that have become weak, disturbed, or out of balance.
Energy medicine may be both a complement to other approaches to medical care,
or a complete system for self-care and self-help. It can address physical illness and emotional or mental disorders,
and can also promote high-level wellness and peak performance. A few of the "energies" commonly referred to are
as follows:
The health of those energies–in terms of flow, balance, and harmony–is reflected in the health
of the body.
