Which category involves working with electromagnetic fields believed to surround the body?

• A. Energy Therapies, working with electromagnetic fields believed to surround the body.
• B. Aromatherapy, plant aromas for treatment.
• C. Herbal Medicine, using plants to treat disorders.
• D. Chiropractic, spinal adjustment.

Answer: (A)

Energy therapies focus on the body's biofield, the electromagnetic field people believe surrounds and interpenetrates the body. These modalities claim to sense or influence that field to promote healing, which is why they fit the description in the question. The other options don’t involve electromagnetic fields: aromatherapy uses plant aromas for therapeutic effects, herbal medicine uses plant-derived compounds, and chiropractic centers on spinal alignment and musculoskeletal function rather than any energy field.
