Towards a working definition
There are many TM systems, including traditional Chinese medicine, Indian
ayurveda and Arabic unani medicine. A variety of indigenous TM systems have also been developed throughout history by Asian, African, Arabic, Native American, Oceanic, Central and South American and other cultures.
Depending on the therapies involved, TM/CAM therapies can be categorized as medication therapies — if they use herbal medicines, animal parts and/or minerals —or non-medication therapies — if carried out primarily without using medication, as n the case of acupuncture, manual therapies, qigong, tai ji, thermal therapy, yoga, and other physical, mental, spiritual andmind–body therapies.
