#pseudoscience
Traditional Chinese Med/Japanese Kampo, R based on virtues of "political dynasty"
Ayurveda has origins in Hinduism and associated scriptures
Homeopathy has no religious or political divide. It was a creed - a way of practice, that has no realistic principles.

Prayer based healing - it is ther in any religion. Not just Christianity or Islam or Hinduism
Mindfulness therapy - for a disease that cannot be "cured" reasonably - Qi Gong or Yoga for cancers
These have religious/political attributes

Clarke's Liniment or Rockefeller Rock Oil - these have absolutely no religious or geopolitical attributes but R pure quackery products.
So quackery/pseudoscience have religious attributes. 1 must question direct principles and not practice behind it.
