Vibrational medicine is an alternative therapy based on the belief that illness is caused by energy imbalances.

The concept is based on the premise that human bodies are made up of interconnected fields of putative (not empirically observable) energy and that when a human body is not well that it is the result of one or more of these fields of energy being unbalanced[1][2] and that the re-balancing of these esoteric energies will help to re-establish a person's good health. Proponents hypothesize that disease within the physical body occurs at the cellular and bimolecular levels. In vibrational medicine, healing is said to extend from the bimolecular level to the cellular and finally, to the anatomical. According to Hwaa Irfan, praying to Allah can help raise the vibration from negative to positive.[3]

Reputation and efficacy

There is no scientific evidence that the energy fields that vibrational medicine is based upon exist, and therefore vibrational medicine is generally viewed as pseudoscience. It is not recognized in medical academia and has been described as "the weirdest of New Age therapies".[4]
