Biofield Science and Healing: History, Terminology, and Concepts

Abstract

Biofield science is an emerging field of study that aims to provide a scientific foundation for understanding the complex homeodynamic regulation of living systems. By furthering our scientific knowledge of the biofield, we arrive at a better understanding of the foundations of biology as well as the phenomena that have been described as “energy medicine.” Energy medicine, the application of extremely low-level signals to the body, including energy healer interventions and bio-electromagnetic device-based therapies, is incomprehensible from the dominant biomedical paradigm of “life as chemistry.” The biofield or biological field, a complex organizing energy field engaged in the generation, maintenance, and regulation of biological homeodynamics, is a useful concept that provides the rudiments of a scientific foundation for energy medicine and thereby advances the research and practice of it. An overview on the biofield is presented in this paper, with a focus on the history of the concept, related terminology, key scientific concepts, and the value of the biofield perspective for informing future research.

Impact of Biofield Energy Treated (The Trivedi Effect<sup>®</sup>) Herbomineral Formulation on the Immune Biomarkers and Blood Related Parameters of Female <i>Sprague Dawley</i> Rats

“…Additionally, the lipid profile data suggest the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, and VLDL were significantly altered in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation. Additionally, the hepatic profile was significantly altered in terms of total protein, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, and globulin level in the Biofield Energy Treated test formulation group, while the hepatic biomarkers like SGOT, SGPT, and cardiac biomarker, CK-MB were significantly decreased by 14 also be used in the prevention of immune-mediated tissue damage in cases of organ transplants (for example heart transplants, kidney transplants and liver transplants), for anti-aging, stress prevention and management, and in the improvement of overall health and quality of life.…”

“…Additionally, holistic medicine/integrative medicine addresses not only the entirety of the body, but the mind and spirit as well. The human body has the power to produce a low intensity electromagnetic signal known as the Biofield [14]. Thus, a human has the ability to harness energy from the environment (Life Force) and transmit it into living organisms and nonliving materials without any adverse effects and in a manner that is more cost-effective than more conventional methods.…”

“…Healing practitioner has the ability to harness the energy from the earth, the "universal energy field" and can be transmitted the biofield energy into any living or non-living object(s) around the Globe with the purpose of improving the wholeness within the objects. This is known as biofield energy treatment or energy medicine and is recognized as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) [18,19]. The Trivedi Effect ® -biofield energy healing has recently drawn attention in the various scientific fields, such as medical science [20], biotechnology [21,22], microbiology [23,24], organic chemistry [25,26], pharmaceutical [27], nutraceutical [28], materials science [29,30], and agricultural [31,32] due to its outstanding applicability to modify the characteristic properties of the living and non-living substances.…”

“…Numerous Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies have been practiced worldwide with minimally invasive procedures in order to improve the endogenous energy flows. The term Biofield is a unifying concept and act as a bridge between traditional and contemporary models of energy medicine [13]. The Biofield Energy Treatment has been reported with significant results in both clinical practice and scientific research, which focus on energy fields of the body.…”
