Answer to Question 1
1.) Homeopathy prescribes therapeutic substances, such as botanical medicine, diluted venom, or bacterial solutions, and biomedical drugs. Originating in Germany, homeopathy is based on the concept that symptoms in illness are evidence that the body is curing itself, and accelerating or exaggeration of the symptoms speeds healing. 2.) Several Asian healing therapies can be classified as the application of physical forces or devices. Massage therapy, acupressure, and pinching or scratching techniques are used to release the vital energy flow through the twelve meridians of the body identified in traditional Chinese medicine, primarily by relieving muscle tension so that oxygen and nutrients can be delivered to organs and wastes removed. 3.) Persons with a spiritual calling are often employed to treat illness. Neng among the Hmong, Mexican curanderos (or curanderas), practitioners of voodoo in the American South, and espiritos or santeros (or santeras) in the Caribbean may communicate with the spirits or saints to heal their patients. Ceremonial invocation is the primary therapy, although charms and spells to counteract witchcraft and botanical preparations to ease physical complaints are used as well.
