within various societies before the
era of modern medicine.

mechanical disorders of the
musculoskeletal system, especially
the spine.

hydropathy and also called water
cure, is a part of alternative medicine,
occupational therapy, and
physiotherapy, that involves the use

and as a type of deep-tissue
massage.
Tawas
is a divination ritual in pseudomedicine in
Filipino Psychology (but considered
superstition in Western psychology),
carried out by the mangtatawas (literally
"user of tawas"). It attempts to diagnose
an affliction or psychological disorder by
interpreting shapes produced in water by
heated alum or molten wax droppings
from a burning candle. It is thus a form of
both carromancy and oryctomancy.
