One positive result of our interconnected, super globalized world is that we now have more healing modalities and options available to us than ever before. With this number of options, however, can come great confusion (self included). With a little help from merriam webster and this awesome resource, I have compiled a little word scramble so you can test your knowledge and see which healing modalities are right for you!

A little disclaimer: these are very simplified definitions of just a tiny sample of the many therapies and disciplines available. This game is meant to inspire further investigation into these modalities!

Name That Medicine!

How to play: Read each definition below and see if you can guess the healing modality by unscrambling the letters below it!
