The first comprehensive look at the groundbreaking field of energy medicine and how it can be used to diagnose and treat illness, from one of the world's foremost practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Today, more of us than ever are discovering the curative powers of energy medicine. Scientific studies continue to confirm its validity, and medical doctors are regularly prescribing treatments such as acupuncture to their patients. But even for those of us who have benefitted from such treatments, the question remains- what exactly is energy medicine, and how does it work?

Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) scholar Jill Blakeway has been treating patients for more than twenty-five years. For Jill, the term 'energy medicine' refers to the wide range of healing modalities used to diagnose and treat illness by manipulating the energy - the vital life force referred to as qi in TCM - that pulses through the cells of our bodies. But even this seasoned practitioner admits she doesn't truly understand how some of her patients are healed under her care, and retains a healthy scepticism about her own abilities as well as those of her peers.

In Energy Medicine, Jill invites us on her global journey to better understand, apply, and explain this powerful healing force. Moving from her own clinic to the halls of academia, she talks to top healers, researchers, and practitioners - from the Stanford and Princeton professors researching the physics behind energy medicine and healing; to a Chinese Qi Gong master who manifests healing herbs directly from her palm; to a team of sceptical scientists who use 'hands on' healing to repeatedly cure mammary cancer in mice. She also tells the story of how she discovered energy medicine and became one of the most sought-after healers in the world.

Lively, entertaining, and informative, told in Jill's funny, relatable, and wholly grounded voice, Energy Medicine bridges the gap between science and spirituality and offers a persuasive, evidence-based case that advances this ancient healing practice.

'Energy Medicine is an absorbing tale of the history and science of energy medicine. Jill Blakeway describes what it means - both personally and scientifically - to be a skilled healer, and shares the cutting edge research of her discipline, as well as incredible real life stories of healing. This is a book that will uplift, inspire, and hopefully convince us all to reconsider what we believe is possible with our health.' -Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

'In Energy Medicine, Jill Blakeway deftly explains the vital role of energy in all living things, showing us how it influences our health in mind and body as well as how it connects us to one another. A fascinating and illuminating read from one of the United States' top practitioners of energy medicine.' -Mark Hyman, MD, bestselling author of Eat Fat, Get Thin

'As a certified acupuncturist and clinical herbalist heavily involved in the field, the author begins by honestly relating her long-standing doubts about the effectiveness of such treatments. She then delves into scientific research that supports energy healing, explaining her findings in an understandable and approachable way.' -Library Journal
