Which term emphasizes using herbs and plants and acknowledges the influence of the mind on physical symptoms?

• A. Naturopathy
• B. Complimentary therapies
• C. Osteopathy
• D. Chiropractic

Answer: (B)

Complementary therapies describe approaches used in addition to conventional medical treatment. They often include plant-based remedies and mind–body techniques, acknowledging that a person’s mental state can influence physical symptoms. This combination—herbal use along with practices that address mood, stress, or mental well-being—fits the description best. The other options refer more to whole systems or specific manual therapies rather than the idea of integrating herbal approaches with conventional care.
