HEALING MECHANIMS AND HOW THEY WORK

Of the different systems of therapeutic healing, the most popular and well-accepted is allopathy, which consists of standardized clinical, laboratory and radiological diagnosis, medical prescriptions, non-surgical invasive procedures such as insertion of scopes, surgical procedures, dental procedures, paramedical procedures such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy and preventive strategies such as vaccination, contraception, counseling and health education.

The other systems of medicines are loosely grouped under the term alternative medicine, which includes homeopathy, Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, acupressure, massages, touch therapy, magnet therapy, naturopathy, Reiki, reflexology and faith healing. Most of these do not have as much data on the reproducibility of their therapeutic results or data on comparison with placebo and other such parameters to establish their efficacy, as does allopathic medicine. This has resulted in some loss of their credibility.

All systems of medicine, including allopathy, have their own diagnostic dilemmas, therapeutic dead ends, empirical medication policies and treatment failures despite the application of evidence-based treatment in several clinical situations.

Leaving aside their differences, all systems of healing involve an exchange of energy between the healer and the healed. Learn more about the role of energy exchange in the process of healing, by reading the book; get your copy today by clicking on the image above.
