Energy Medicine is a form of complementary and alternative medicine based on the concept that vital energy flows through the human body. Practitioners use various techniques to manipulate this energy flow, aiming to restore balance and harmony within the body. These techniques help balance energy flow, reduce stress, alleviate pain, and provide relief from treatment side effects, anxiety, and fatigue, supporting recovery and resilience. By focusing on the energetic aspects of health, energy medicine offers a holistic approach that complements conventional medical treatments, enhancing the body’s natural healing processes, improving emotional health, and boosting the immune system.
