Description: "As the first book to elaborate on the cutting-edge field of subtle energy medicine, The Scientific Basis of Integrative Medicine lays out the scientific underpinnings for the mind-body connection, documenting the numerous interactions of the endocrine, immune, nervous, and stress systems that so profoundly impact human functioning. The authors present a theory of the physiology of spirituality - or in medical terms, a theory of how subtle energy impacts physical and mental/emotional functioning."--Jacket.
