Many Are Coming To Rely On Energy Medicine

By Meeri Banks


There are many ways to assist your healing, besides drugs. One field of complementary or alternative medicine is a school described as energy medicine. This discipline of therapy is based on a belief that the patient can be cared for by a healer who can channel energies. Analysts endeavour to determine imbalances (bioelectrical, chemical, or structural) within the individual and to use healing energies to put right these imbalances.

The terms for this form of therapy, spiritual healing and energy healing came into common usage after the creation of the International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies back in the 1980s. Three distinct methods take the forms of hands-on, hands-off and distant healing. Distant healing occurs with the patient and the therapist in separate locations; it is also known as absent healing.

Reiki, biofield healing, therapeutic touch and contact healing are all brands of therapies. The US National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) has categorized health-care techniques that engage scientifically identifiable energies as "Veritable Energies" care. These methods include magnet therapy, light therapy and colorpuncture.

The nursing profession has recognised the results of therapeutic touch. Diagnosis of a patient's "field disturbance" was approved by the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association in 2005/6. In Canada, Therapeutic Touch is a registered trademark used by therapists in a structured and standardized technique who manipulate a patient's field of power.

The uses of electrical energies for healing purposes include deep brain stimulators (to treat neurological problems), electric currents to heal wounds faster and TENS machines for the relief of chronic pain. Electrotherapy has been recognized by the American Physical Therapy Association as an effective form of pain management.

Tissue repair, incontinence and joint mobility can all get better thanks to electrotherapy. The manner in which the brain receives pain messages can be influenced by electrical impulses. They are set off by a TENS instrument; these procedures can be employed instead of drugs to tackle a lot of varieties of pain with no unwelcome side-effects.

Bioenergetics is an active form of "body work'. It seeks to achieve emotional and physical wellbeing by therapeutic measures that allow energies to flow through the mind and body. Neuroscience research substantiates the effects of body work in psychotherapy.

Energy medication views all bodily energies as being fundamental to vitality, emotional wellbeing and physical health. It works to improve health and happiness through these energies. A balanced and harmonious whole is re-established non-invasively by the massaging of a patient's accupoints.
