Their common philosophy can be called a new ecology of health, sustainable medicine, or medicine for a small plant. (Micozzi, 2011, p. 1). There are many different options in CAM therapies. These include but are not limited to: chiropractic, massage, mind-body, aromatherapy, acupuncture, qi gong, yoga as well as countless others.
