Answer: (C)

Herbal medicine focuses on using plants or herbs as therapeutic agents to treat health issues. This practice, also called herbalism, centers on the belief that plant compounds can help alleviate various disorders, and it can involve preparations like teas, tinctures, capsules, or topical forms. The other options describe different therapies: aromatherapy uses plant scents for beauty or general well-being rather than treating disorders; chiropractic involves manipulating the spine and skull; massage relies on manual manipulation of soft tissues.
