What does it mean to practice an energy medicine?

Claire M Cassidy. J Altern Complement Med. 2004 Feb.

Abstract

The concepts that energy exists and moves and that health is homeodynamic form the core assumptions of medical practices such as acupuncture that are known as energy medicines. These assumptions lead logically to practice characteristics that distinguish energy medicines from materialist medicines.
