Holistic healing is a way of treating people the natural way. The word holistic means whole, one, complete. It takes into account the whole individual and their overall wellness. Instead of focusing on one part of the body, holistic health practitioners look at the whole picture. These types of doctors and practitioners look for the root cause of our illnesses.
Holistic health includes many different types of healing modalities. Here is a list of some examples:
- Herbalism
- Chinese Medicine
- Acupuncture
- Chiropractic
- Homeopathy
- Ayurveda
- Integrative medicine
- Functional medicine
- Reiki
- Naturopathy
- Reflexology
Each one of these practices has its different approach. The best way to find which is best for you is to try them as see for yourself. Some of these practices have been used for centuries and are proven to work for many different ailments.
Holistic health and wellness include healing the whole individual, mind, body, and spirit. In order to live a truly happy and healthy life, we must consider more than just our physical bodies. We have emotions, wants, needs, dreams, traumas, and blockages. Only after looking deep inside ourselves can we find true healing.
Problems With Modern-Day Medicine
Examples of the ways western medicine usually operates:
- Treats the symptom, not the root cause
- Treats the disease, not the individual
- One size fits all medicine approach
- Driven largely by financial profit
- Most modern-day doctors are 7 years behind on new health research
Most doctors today are an average of 7 years behind on their research and are treating patients using outdated information. This has huge implications for the medical community but no one really speaks about it. Here is an article that talks all about the lack of medical research maintenance in medicine today and the harmful effects of doctors using ineffective cures.
