Understanding Holistic Health And Wellness And Its Benefits

By Leticia Jensen


Living a long and happy life is becoming a goal for more and more people around the world. Seemingly, people are questioning modern medicine, not that it doesn't have a place, because it does. The problem lies with the fact that modern medicine is almost always about the treatment of particular symptoms. It seems to ignore the root problem of a condition, however. The right approach for anyone to take is to prevent medical issues from developing. However, if something does develop, the root source of the problem must be sought out. That's why it is crucial to understand holistic health and wellness approaches.

It is an approach that deals with the body in its entirety, including the mind, the spirit, and the mental or emotional aspects of each person. With regards to spirit, it is not a religious aspect, rather it is about one's individual core. Medical doctors ignore the whole and deal with just one thing at a time.

An individual is an entity, and should be treated as one. It is finding out the reason one is feeling unwell on the whole. On the other hand, modern medicine is all about writing prescriptions or promoting well-being through surgery. To sum it up, modern medicine simply masks symptoms.

Basically, it intertwines the spirit, of the mind, and the body because they make up a whole. They are not individual or independent of one another. Simply put, it's a complete approach that focuses on all aspects of an individual.

While it may go by other names, these terms may not truly identify what it is down to its core. For example, alternative medicine is just one method but it does not always mean that it is holistic. To clarify, a holistic treatment involves a care plan that is designed specifically for an individual accordingly.

The goal is to promote balance and harmony within the individual and his or her environment. As such, there are numerous approaches which could include homeopathy, nutritional counseling, and many others. It is almost a given that herbs and vitamins form part of the healing, as is detoxification.

Moreover, it encourages the individual to take action on his or her own by making people aware of their own health. In essence, it is promoting self-care and awareness through lifestyle changes, for example. It is these distinct strategies that can bring on a positive change, a change which can prevent the onset of disease. This doesn't necessarily mean that better choices will prevent illness, but it will reduce the chances of falling sick.

At the same time, it should not avoid anyone from seeking medical advice from medical doctors. Instead, it should be used in combination. The point is that there are alternatives to taking drugs that can be harmful, and always come with numerous side effects that can create a slew of other problems. Treatments and approaches can differ from one practitioner to another, but the goal is always the same, which is to make the individual better overall. Most people take advantage of the simpler way to live, by popping pills but not making any serious changes. To be completely healthy and well, people need to be committed to the effort.
