                                                               What is Holistic Health?

It is the art and science of healing that addresses care of the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. The practice of holistic health integrates conventional and complementary therapies to promote optimal health and prevent and treat disease by addressing contributing factors. Holistic healthcare practitioners strive to meet the patient with grace, kindness, acceptance, and spirit without condition, as love is life’s most powerful healer.

In practice, this means that each person is seen as a unique individual, rather than an example of a particular disease. Disease is understood to be the result of physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and environmental imbalance. Healing, therefore, takes place naturally when these aspects of life are brought into proper balance. The role of the practitioner is as guide, mentor and role model; the patient must do the work - changing lifestyle, beliefs, and old habits in order to facilitate healing. All appropriate methods may be used, from medication to meditation.

 

The principles of holistic medicine:

 

• A partnership between patient and practitioner in the healing process.

• Appropriate use of conventional and alternative methods to facilitate the body's innate healing response.

• Consideration of all factors that influence health, wellness, and disease, including mind, spirit, and community as well as body.

• A philosophy that neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically.

• Recognition that good medicine should be based in good science, be inquiry-driven, and be open to new paradigms.

• Use of natural, effective, less-invasive interventions whenever possible.

• Use of the broader concepts of promotion of health and the prevention of illness as well as the treatment of disease.
