Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest systems of natural healing, originally practiced in the Vedic culture of India. It focuses on maintaining balance between the mind, body and spirit through diet, meditation, yoga, and medicinal herbs. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on interventions which attempt to maintain and restore the flow of vital energy, which include tai chi, acupuncture, acupressure, and meditation. Homeopathy is an alternative medical practice which focuses on healing through small doses of specially prepared plants. Mind-body medicine focuses on interactions between the brain, mind, emotions and behavior and their effects on overall health.
