Answer: (A)

Herbal medicine uses plants or herbs to treat disorders. This approach, often called phytotherapy, relies on natural plant compounds to support health and relieve symptoms. Remedies are prepared in various forms such as teas, tinctures, capsules, or topical products, and they work by delivering active substances that can affect bodily functions. Because plant products can vary in strength and quality, safety and interactions with other medications are important considerations.

Aromatherapy focuses on plant scents and essential oils to influence mood, relaxation, and well-being rather than treating medical disorders through ingestion or systemic plant compounds. Chiropractic addresses the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine and joints, without using plant-based treatments. Reiki is an energy-healing modality that involves channeling perceived energy rather than applying plant substances.
