B. Reflexology
Reflexology is an alternative medicine involving application of pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work affects a physical change to the body.
A 2009 systematic review of randomised controlled trials concludes: "The best evidence available to date does not demonstrate convincingly that reflexology is an effective treatment for any medical condition.
There is no consensus among reflexologists on how reflexology is supposed to work; a unifying theme is the idea that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that by manipulating these one can improve health through one's qi. Reflexologists divide the body into ten equal vertical zones, five on the right and five on the left. Concerns have been raised by medical professionals that treating potentially serious illnesses with reflexology, which has no proven efficacy, could delay the seeking of appropriate medical treatment.
C. Acupressure
Acupressure is an ancient healing art using the fingers to gradually press key healing points, which stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities.

F. Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann based on his doctrine of like cures like, whereby a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people will cure similar symptoms in sick people. The concept of disease in homeopathy is that disease is a total affection of mind and body, the disturbance of the whole organism. Individual organs are not the cause of illness but disturbance at the inner level (disturbance of the life force, the vital energy of the body) is the cause of illness.

G. Yoga
Yoga is a modern phenomenon which has been influenced by the ancient Indian practice of hatha yoga. It involves holding stretches as a kind of low-impact physical exercise, and is often used for therapeutic purposes. Yoga therapy is the adaptation of yoga practices for people with health challenges. Yoga therapists prescribe specific regimens of postures, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques to suit individual needs. Medical research shows that Yoga therapy is among the most effective complementary therapies for several common aliments. The challenges may be an illness, a temporary condition like pregnancy or childbirth, or a chronic condition associated with old age or infirmity.
Although yoga is much more than a stress-reduction method, stress adversely affects a wide range of health conditions, and yoga is arguably the most comprehensive approach to fighting stress ever invented. Stress isn’t just a factor in conditions commonly labeled “stress-related,” such as migraines, ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome, but it appears to contribute to such major killers as heart attacks, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
Ayurveda
Ayurveda is a science of life practiced in India. Ayurveda has stood for the wholesome physical, mental and spiritual growth of humanity around the world. The word ayurveda is made up of two words. (i) Aush and (ii) Veda.
Ayush means life and Vedas means knowledge or science. India has been the home ground of ‘Ayurveda’ the traditional medicine system, for last 5000 years. According to Ayurveda the human body is made up of, (i) 3 Doshas (Bio-Humors) like Vata, Pitta and Kapha, (ii) 7 Dhatus (Body matrix) i.e. Rasa (plasma), Raktha (Blood cells), Mamsa (Muscular tissue), Meda (Fatty tissue) Asthi (Bony tissue) Majja (Bone marrow) and Shukra (Hormonal and other secretions of genital) and (iii) 3 Malas (excretable products) such as Pureesh (Faeces), Sweda (Sweat) and Mutra (Urine). The state of equilibrium of doshas, dhatus and malas is health, otherwise distortion of the equilibrium results into diseases. The approach to diseases in Ayurveda is different from modern medicine. There are efficient management systems for selected diseases in Ayurveda. The patients who are not having relief from other system of medicines can definitely opt on Ayurvedic system of medicines subject to proper evaluation of the patient by the Ayurvedic physician.
The essence of treatment is the removal of the cause and avoidance of causative factors.Ayurvedic treatment does not mean suppressing the main symptoms and creating some new ones as side effects of the main treatment. It is to remove the root cause and give permanent relief. The medicines for the treatment mainly comprises of powders, tablets, decoctions, medicated oils etc. prepared from natural herbs, plants and minerals. Because the medicines are from natural sources and not synthetic, they are accepted and assimilated in the body without creating any side effects and on the other hand, there may be some side benefits.
