Lesson 6: Alternative & Complementary Medicine

The Body-Mind Energy Connection

Energy therapy relates to energy fields that start within the body (biofields) or outside energy (electromagnetic fields).

Since I am not an expert in this area, I will list the various types of complementary energy therapies and give you some links for them. I have no opinion on any of these techniques, nor either endorse nor refute them. As with any other non-standard treatment, do your homework, research them thoroughly, and always discuss with your physician before beginning on any new treatment.
