Energy Medicine has an emphasis of therapies on energy fields originating within the body (biofields) or outside of the body (electromagnetic fields). Magnet therapy (also known as magnetic field therapy or biomagnetic therapy) involves the use of magnets, magnetic devices, or magnetic fields to treat a variety of conditions, including circulatory problems, certain forms of arthritis, chronic pain, sleep disorders, and stress. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and microcurrent therapies are examples of devices that use the application of external electromagnetic energy for the promotion of health.

Some examples of therapies that deal with effecting the body's own bioelectromagnetic system include Chi-kung, Reiki, Radionics, Healing Touch, and Therapeutic Touch. Chi-kung, also referred to as Qi gong, is an ancient Chinese exercise system that aims to stimulate and balance the flow of "chi" or vital energy, along the acupuncture meridians, or energy pathways. Chi-kung is used to reduce stress, improve blood circulation, enhance immune function, and treat a variety of health conditions. Practitioners of Reiki, an ancient Tibetan healing system, use light hand placements to channel healing energies to the recipient. Reiki is commonly used to treat emotional and mental distress as well as chronic and acute physical problems. It is also used to assist the recipient in achieving spiritual focus and clarity. Reiki practitioners may vary widely in the techniques they use.

Therapeutic Touch or healing touch is practiced by registered nurses and others to accelerate wound healing, relieve pain, promote relaxation, prevent illness, and ease the dying process. The practitioner uses light touch or works with their hands near the client's body in an effort to restore balance to the client's energy system. Radionics is a method of diagnosis and treatment at a distance, which utilizes specially-designed instruments that practitioners can use to determine the underlying causes of diseases within a living system - be it human, animal, plant, or the soil itself. While Radionics is mainly used to diagnose and treat human ailments, it has also been used extensively in agriculture to increase yields, control pest, and enhance the health of livestock.
