Description
"Background: Western and Eastern cultures have practiced biofield energy therapy
for thousands of years, but empirical research on effectiveness of this therapy is relatively
nascent. Study was aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of biofield therapy
on psychological symptoms and mental health disorders in adult subjects.
Methods: Seventy-seven
participants (39 male and 38 female) underwent clinical
trial. This trial was simple randomized, placebo-controlled,
parallel-group,
open-label,
and single-center
with subjects, who have one or more psychological symptoms. Two
sessions of biofield energy attunement were given in-person
at day 0 and 90 for 3 min
(treatment group, n = 35) and others allocated to naive attunement (placebo group,
n = 42). Subjects were assessed psychological questionnaire scoring using standard
scale of assessment and levels of physiological biomarkers in serum were determined
by parameter-specific
ELISA.
Results: Perceived psychological symptoms/scores (asthenia, sleep disturbances,
anxiety, depression, stress, confusion, future fearness, sexual desireness, motivation,
confidence, emotional trauma, etc.) were significantly (p ≤ 0.0001) improved in the
treatment group than placebo control group. Furthermore, physiological biomarkers:
vitamins (B12, C, and D3 metabolites), immune biomarker (CD8+CD28−), neurotransmitters
(acetylcholine, noradrenaline, and dopamine), hormones (oxytocin, 17-β-
estradiol,
and insulin), and antiaging protein (klotho) levels were significantly (p ≤ 0.001) increased
in treatment group than placebo. Proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α,
IL-1β,
IL-6,
and IL-8)
and oxidative stress biomarkers (isoprostane and oxidized LDL) were
reduced in treatment group compared with placebo.
Conclusions: Results suggest that experimenter's biofield energy plays a significant
role in information transfer processes that contribute to individual's state of physical,
mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being
as well as improved overall health and
quality of life."
