Ideas in this flowchart

  • CAM practices may manipulate energy fields to affect health.
  • Energy fields are classified as veritable or putative.
  • Veritable energy fields are measurable.
  • Electromagnetic practices include magnet therapy and light therapy.
  • Putative energy fields have not yet been measured.
  • Putative fields, also called biofields, reflect the idea that humans contain subtle forms of energy.
  • Examples include qi gong, Reiki, and healing touch.
  • The 2007 NHIS found relatively low use of putative energy therapies.
  • Energy healing or Reiki was used by 0.5 percent of adults and 0.2 percent of children.
  • The survey defined energy healing as channeling healing energy through a practitioner's hands into the client's body.

"Some CAM practices involve manipulation of various energy fields to affect health. Such fields may be characterized as veritable (measurable) or putative (yet to be measured). Practices based on veritable forms of energy include those involving electromagnetic fields (e.g., magnet therapy and light therapy). Practices based on putative energy fields (also called biofields) generally reflect the concept that human beings are infused with subtle forms of energy; qi gong, Reiki, and healing touch are examples of such practices. The 2007 NHIS found relatively low use of putative energy therapies. Only 0.5 percent of adults and 0.2 percent of children had used energy healing/Reiki (the survey defined energy healing as the channeling of healing energy through the hands of a practitioner into the client's body)."
