Holistic Health based on the concept of mind, body and spiritual interconnection. If there is an imbalance of one part, that may lead to the problem in rest. A healthy lifestyle means the taking care of all individual pieces with the aim of improving the wellbeing of the whole.
We experienced that if we suffer with anger, stress or other emotional strain, our bodies also suffer; may be with headache, gastritis, body pain or even premature aging. Likewise, when we are practicing yoga or mindfulness, automatically we care not only our physical body but also on our mind and spirit.
Consequently it is very crucial to balance these three pieces to have a happy, peaceful and healthy lifestyle.
Many of us are looking for a way to feel happier in our day – to- day lives. Today in our modern lifestyle, we pursue behind the number of external physical things such as money, vehicles, food, travelling and so forth to find out this happiness. However, majority of us felt depressed, sad or loneliness at the end of this busy, endless journey. For many decades, mainly medication and sometime psychotherapy became the first line treatment for the psychological and emotional issues, where they address to the symptoms and not the root cause. Holistic healing is incorporating ancient, alternative therapies, focusing on the cause and the balance of body mind and spirit. This makes individuals to achieve good health, peace and happiness in their life by strengthening their emotional, spiritual and physical wellness as a whole.
Holistic medicine is also based on the belief that unconditional love and support is the most powerful healer and a person is ultimately responsible for their own health and well-being.
Other principles of holistic medicine include the following:
All people have innate healing powers.
The patient is a person, not a disease.
Treatment involves fixing the cause of the condition, not just alleviating the symptoms.
Healing takes a team approach involving the patient and doctor, and addresses all aspects of a person’s life using a variety of health care practices.
