NURSING 775: Energy Therapies


1


The energy therapies module provides an overview of biofield and bioelectromagnetic therapies: Biofield therapies are intended to affect energy fields that surround and penetrate the human body and environment.  The existence of such fields has not yet been scientifically proven.  Some forms of energy therapy manipulate biofields by applying pressure and/or manipulating the body by placing the hands in, or through, these fields.  Examples include qi gong, Reiki, Healing Touch and Therapeutic Touch.  Bioelectromagnetic-based therapies involve the unconventional use of electromagnetic fields, such as pulsed fields, magnetic fields, or alternative current or direct current fields.  Light and color therapy are also included in this area.
