Unlike traditional medicine, which focuses on illness or specific parts of the body, holistic medicine considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. This approach also looks at how each individual interacts with their environment, believing that we are not separate from our surroundings. Holistic alternative medicine encompasses a wide array of time proven treatments that include, but are not limited to, acupuncture, aromatherapy, massage, chiropractic, homeopathy, and reflexology. Holistic medicine also incorporates traditional medical tests and treatments where appropriate. In holistic health, each individual is an active participant in their treatment and takes responsibility for the daily choices that contribute to—or detract from—their level of health.
A holistic lifestyle will vary according to each individual’s medical condition(s), stresses and available social support. In holistic health, it is assumed that each individual, regardless of their state of health or disease, can improve their state of well-being through healthy lifestyle choices. A proper diet provides the essential nutrients, or building blocks, to create new healthier cells (the body continuously replaces cells); reducing harmful substances including alcohol, nicotine, and drugs, reduces stress on the body’s systems; the right exercise improves mood, energy levels, and flexibility; and cultivating positive mental attitudes and eliminating negative messages from people, media, and entertainment promotes self esteem.
The Benefits of Holistic Medicine
Focusing on the whole person, including the individual as a partner in improving health, cultivating a positive lifestyle, and using an array of alternative and sometimes allopathic modalities as appropriate promotes greater vitality and well-being and also naturally motivates each individual to continue towards a greater state of health.
