Holistic Medicine

Alternative methods of healing have been around for many years. Traditional medicine can only do so much in some cases before some other method needs to be used. In these cases, holistic medicine can be useful, treating both the symptoms and the causes behind a condition.

What is Holistic Medicine?

Holistic medicine is a form of healing that focuses on the health of the mind, body and spirit. Holistic medicine differs from traditional medicine since it focuses on healing the contributing factors that might influence a sickness or symptom. There are many different types of holistic medicine, from yoga to acupuncture. Each different type of holistic medicine can be used to treat specific symptoms and causes of medical conditions.

Uses for Holistic Medicine


Holistic medicine can be used to treat a number of symptoms and contributing factors. For example, some forms of holistic medicine can help relax the body and mind. This can then ease stress, which contributes to medical conditions such as high blood pressure and depression. Other forms of healing can help address pain manifested by certain medical conditions. Massage therapy can be used to relieve tension and pain in muscles while acupuncture can be used to redirect the body’s energy flow. Holistic medicine can be used independently as a treatment plan or collectively with traditional medicine.
