Complementary Medicine

Energy medicine is an emerging and swiftly accelerating form of complementary medicine. Data from the 2012 National Health Interview Survey tell us that over 3.7 million adults in the United States surveyed have seen a practitioner for energy healing therapy (over 1.6 million in the past year). Insurance covered the visit for 8% of the adults surveyed (Jain 2015 Clinical Studies of Biofeld Therapies article).
