Biofield therapies are intended to affect energy fields that purportedly surround.
Some forms of energy therapy manipulate biofields by applying pressure and/or manipulating the body
Mind-body medicine uses a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind’s capacity to affect bodily function and symptoms.
Other mind-body techniques are still considered CAM, including meditation, prayer, mental healing, and therapies that use creative outlets such as art, music, or dance.
Biologically based therapies in CAM use substances found in nature, such as herbs, foods, and vitamins.
Some examples include dietary supplements, 3 herbal products, and the use of other so-called natural but as yet scientifically unproven therapies
