The grouping is defined by that claim alone and holds unrelated things: cupping as prophetic medicine within Islamic tradition, modern subtle-energy healing systems, and regression under hypnosis. No shared theory connects them and none is presented here as medicine. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedPractices 1Learn MoreThe Therapeutic Practices This group holds therapeutic practices: disciplines directed at healing of body, mind or spirit, where religious or spiritual means are brought to bear on affliction. The atlas describes these as traditions of practice and belief, not as clinical guidance. The browser will find therapeutic practices from various traditions. The entries describe each practice's form and rationale, noting the tradition that prescribes it and treating healing claims as the tradition's own.All Therapeutic PracticesFilter Results10 entriesOrigin Period Start YearAll-400 (1)1922 (1)1952 (1)Unesco StatusAllInscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (1)Solitary or CommunalAllPerformed alone (1)Performed alone or together (1)Performed by an officiant for a recipient (8)Category of PracticeAllRitual sleep in a temple precinct seeking a healing dream (1)Therapeutic (1)Who Performs ItAllAll adherents of the tradition (2)Trained or authorised specialists (8)Practice StatusAllHistorical; not practised continuously (1)Living tradition, practised today (9)Scholarly StandingAllA standard analytic category in the study of religion (9)Used, but its validity as a comparative category is disputed (1)CadenceAllAs the occasion requires (3)Daily (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 10AbhyangaTherapeutic PracticesEnergy healingTherapeutic PracticesHijamaTherapeutic PracticesIncubation at Healing SanctuariesTherapeutic PracticesLomilomiTherapeutic PracticesMarma TherapyTherapeutic PracticesNuad Boran (Traditional Thai Massage)Therapeutic PracticesPast-life regressionTherapeutic PracticesSobadaTherapeutic PracticesTui NaTherapeutic PracticesSources1.
