Wellness practices, diets and appliances offered as alternatives to ordinary medicine, including prolotherapy, duct tape occlusion therapy for warts, the alkaline diet, water ionizers, halotherapy, speleotherapy and perineum sunning. An entry belongs here when its own source describes the practice as alternative, unproven or a wellness claim. It excludes hands-on bodywork and mind-body training. Each member is a complementary and manual therapy entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.
