Energetic medicine is a broad term for a variety of approaches that seek to improve health through means that enhance the energetic state of others. Born out of the awareness that the study of quantum physics has given us about the reality of energy as a force in the universe, energetic (or vibrational) medicine attempts to influence the fields of energy that have been determined to exist and measured around and through our bodies.

Some of the approaches in this area include:

• Aromatherapy  
• Charismatic Healing
• Crystal and Mineral Therapies
• Hands-on healing
• Healing Touch
• Intercessory Prayer
• Light Therapy
• Music and Sound Therapies
• Reiki Therapy  

Aspects of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) and other Asian healing arts that are based on energetic medicine concepts (including the existence of qi), have not been proven by mechanistic Western scientific approaches. Energetic Medicine is also thought to play a role in Homeopathy.
