Energy Medicine

What is energy healing? And why does it work?For thousands of years, practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine have used the body’s own energy — which they call ‘qi’ — to promote healing. Now, a scientist and sceptic turned qualified acupuncturist explains how, and why, this works.Blakeway takes the reader on a journey from the Stanford and Princeton professors researching the physics of energy medicine, to a Qi Gong master from China who manifests healing herbs directly from her palm; and from the Harvard team studying the placebo effect, to a group of sceptical scientists who use hands-on healing to cure mammary cancer in mice. From hard science to the spiritual and back again, The Energy That Heals Us is a quest to find out why these alternative methods of healing are proving successful for thousands worldwide.
