Energy medicine

Vibrational medicine, also known as energy medicine, is a branch of alternative medicine that posits that all matter, including the human body, is composed of energy that vibrates at different frequencies. Practitioners of vibrational medicine believe that disease and illness are the result of disruptions or imbalances in these vibrational frequencies, and that restoring balance can promote healing. This approach incorporates various therapies, such as sound healing, color therapy, and the use of crystals, to influence the body's energy fields. The term "vibrational medicine" is derived from the idea that everything in the universe, including thoughts, emotions, and physical matter, vibrates at specific frequencies. In Hebrew, vibrational medicine can be translated as רפואה תדרית (refua tedrit). In German, it is known as Schwingungsmedizin, and in Spanish, it is referred to as medicina vibracional. While vibrational medicine is not widely accepted by conventional medical practitioners due to a lack of empirical evidence, it remains popular in holistic and alternative health circles. Key figures in the field include Dr. Richard Gerber, author of "Vibrational Medicine," and Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, who has explored the use of sound and vibration in cancer treatment.

Pseudo-scientific alternative medicine
Energy medicine
Energy medicine is a branch of alternative medicine based on a pseudo-scientific belief that healers can channel "healing energy" into patients and effect positive results. The field is defined by shared beliefs and practices relating to mysticism and esotericism in the wider alternative medicine sphere rather than any unified terminology, leading to terms such as energy healing, vibrational medicine, and similar terms being used synonymously. In most cases, no empirically measurable "energy" is involved: the term refers instead to so-called subtle energy. Practitioners may classify their practice as hands-on, hands-off, or distant, wherein the patient and healer are in different locations. Many approaches to energy healing exist: for example, "biofield energy healing", "spiritual healing", "contact healing", "distant healing", therapeutic touch, Reiki, and Qigong.
