Traditional remedies and practices tied to a specific culture, community or folk tradition, along with the broader modern-era alternative-medicine practices and products that share their unsystematized, non-mechanism-specific character, rather than a named manipulative technique, a water cure, an energy claim, a compounded pharmacological remedy or a cutting operation. This includes culturally specific folk remedies and materials (African black soap, aguamiel, crocodile oil, skunk oil, tamagozake, chicken-blood therapy, alternative uses for placenta, medical cannibalism, urine therapy, hagiotherapy, royal touch, faith healing), regional traditional medical systems (Hidaklon, Maibaron), everyday folk practices and sayings (feed a cold starve a fever, enema, tobacco smoke enema, ear candling, eye shaving, moxibustion), and broader modern alternative-medicine practices and products with no single technique-based home elsewhere in this subcategory (naturopathy, aromatherapy, apitherapy, gemmotherapy, biomesotherapy, colloidal silver, detoxification (alternative medicine), ozone therapy, See Clearly Method). A practice whose defining technique is direct manual manipulation, water immersion, a claimed energy field, or a discrete cutting operation is grouped instead under this atlas's other historical-practice groups even when it also carries a folk or cultural origin.
