Which therapies are specifically "new age"?

Apart from crystal healing (without the Werthers originals) are we talking about aroamtherapy, homeopathy.. ??? Faith healing? Acupuncture?

In most cases there is no scientific reason why the therapy should work, however in a few cases some people do seem to derive a benefit from them, whether by pure chance or not it's hard to say, however I had a bad back at the start of the year and has physiotherapy that was very slowly getting me better. One of my friends suggested that acupuncture might help so I suggested it to my Physio (thinking that she'd laugh at the suggestion).... instead she said that if I wanted to try it, that she'd treat me! I decided I had nowt to lose and let her turn me into a pincushion.. It was great... half an hour later I felt a lot better (not magicaly cured, but my pain had decreased by at least 50%).

I don't understand the science of it, but am prepared to give alternative treatments a chance now.
