Holistic medicine is about prevention
and the lifestyle choices of diet, exercise, attitude,
and relationships. The scientific evidence currently
existing that supports the conclusion that healthy
living through prevention and holistic medicine does
indeed work in some areas of health and wellness is very
suggestive of a strong benefit.
Holistic medicine refers to the subset of complementary
and alternative medicine that claims to treat the whole
person. It, also, refers to what this web site considers
to be the best of alternative medicine.
"Holistic Medicine describes a mainly
Western outlook at health care which includes the 'whole'
of the human/animal organism. Disease is not just treated
symptomatically - preventive steps are taken, and
lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, attitude, and
relationships are considered."
Natural health and wellness
refers only to the self-help modalities of holistic
medicine rather than to holistic treatment provided by
some type of professional health care practitioner.
