What Is Holistic Medicine?
Item Number: Holistic Medicine Information

Is Holistic Medicine a long ago, forgotten practice or the practice of the future? Think back to a simpler time and visualize a small town where the local doctor was the town's best friend. He would know your entire family on a first name basis and remember when you acquired your first cold. Holistic Medicine is based on a partnership between the doctor and the patient. This partnership addresses the care of a patient's body, mind, and spirit. Together, the patient and the doctor will discuss and choose the best possible course of treatment. And like the small town's best friend, a doctor practicing Holistic Medicine gets to know their patients very well, acting at times as a counselor. It is the belief in Holistic Medicine that patient's need to achieve balance and well being in all aspects of life: physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, social, and spiritual. Holistic Medicine practices conventional medicine, as well as complementary therapies with prevention of disease its primary focus. When treating disease, a practitioner of Holistic Medicine investigates the root cause and then addresses those needs. This may mean that the patient may have to make certain lifestyle changes. It is also the view of Holistic Medicine that the patients are ultimately responsible for their own well being. Somebody who is consumed with stress may have to make lifestyle changes to get well. As stated on MayoClinic.com:       Too much stress may appear in the form of illness, infertility or fatigue. Chronic stress can damage your overall health, including: Your immune system.
