- traditional Chinese medicine
- Ayurveda
- acupuncture/acupressure

Support your position with at least two scholarly or peer-reviewed sources, in addition to the textbook and this week’s required/recommended reading. You may use professional Internet sources; however, these sources will not count toward the research requirement.
