Commentary

CAM and the Phenomenology of Pain

Alex Hankey

Hethe House Cowden Kent TN8 7DZ, UK

Many CAM modalities afford relief from pain, each in its own way, or according to its own terminology. Comparison of different CAM modalities results in a simple phenomenology of pain centered around the idea that pain may be associated with blockages of the flow of energy in the system of nadis/acupuncture meridians.

Keywords: pain – TCM – ayurveda – EAP – acumeridians
