Energy Medicine - A New Ray of Hope in the Management of Chronic Oro-Facial Pain: A Mini Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Energy medicine is one of the five domains of “Complementary and Alternative Medicine” (CAM) identified by the National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) in the United States. Energy medicine is based on the principle that we, and the world we live in are all made up of energy, when our energies are flowing smoothly and in harmony we feel great and our bodies are able to naturally heal them. Energy medicine enhances ones health, vitality and overall sense of well being by releasing stuck, stagnant or otherwise imbalanced energies and restoring them to a balanced state. One feels better both physically and mentally as the energies become stronger and resilient. The therapeutic role of energy medicine is to restore the flow of energy to the system and is characterized by the self help and self care. Application of such energies for the management of pain has been largely used since many years. This review projects light on various energy medicine treatment modalities that can be used in oral medicine for chronic Oro-facial pain.
