Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Warfarin and blood thinners interact with ginkgo biloba (designed to improve memory). All herbal supplements should be evaluated with current pharmacological medications. The other options do not have interactions with each other.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Both yoga and breathwork are mind-body therapies, whereas both reiki and therapeutic touch therapies are energy field therapies. Tai chi is mind-body intervention. Acupressure and massage are body-based methods. Ayurvedic is a type of whole medical system.
