Holistic Medical Treatment of body, mind and soul
Holistic Medical Treatments are practiced all over the world as part of the local traditional medicine systems which we find in every old culture. In western countries these treatments are regarded as an alternative for allopathic medicine treatments. The term „holistic“ relates to the philosophy, that every being and everything is energetically connected with each other. We are connected with the nature, our planet and even with the stars and planets in our universe.
In Holistic Medicine body, mind and soul of a being are seen as an unit. Therefore the treatment of a symptom or a disease includes the therapy of body, mind and soul same time. Holistic Medical Treatment is focussed on healing the root causes and on activation of the selfhealing power of the body. Medicines are mainly natural, like herbs and spices or minerals, but even a walk in the fresh air or sunbathing is considered as medicine.
Integration of Holistic Medical Treatments
The approach of Holistic Medicine is as old as humanity. Our early ancestors understood, to treat diseases or complaints with all nature has to offer. Later in high cultures like ancient India, China, Egypt, Persia or Mesopotamia, extensive Holistic Health Care systems were developed. The main concern in these systems is the prevention of diseases. This requires a lifestyle in alignment with one’s own nature and the environment, including healthy food and activities in daily life, which bring health and happiness to the body, mind and soul.
In the last 15-20 years this kind of preventive lifestyle got very popular in western countries, especially because of the limits of allopathic medicine in treating chronic diseases. Many people are interested and learn from cultures and indigenous people, who are still living a natural holistic lifestyle like in India, China, Japan or South America. In future holistic medical treatment will be integrated in conventional allopathic medicine.
Holistic Medical Treatments are individual
Holistic medical treatments and recommendations are always personalized, because no person and no being is like the other. The patient is seen as an individual, with his/her personal constitution, state of health, circumstances of living, abilities, talents, potentials, weak and strong points. Medication and recommendation need to be adjusted individually to the nature and the basic needs of a person or a being.
Popular methods and Holistic Medical Systems
The most popular holistic medical systems are Yoga, Ayurveda, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), European Naturopathy, Hypnosis or Homeopathy with healing and preventive effects. More and more physicians all over the world are learning and practicing the principles and methods of these Holistic Medicine Systems. They offer treatments with herbal medicine and detox cures, acupuncture and acupressure or physical and mental exercises and even meditation. New medical disciplines are popping up like „Prevention Medicine“ or „Personalized Medicine“, which are only new terms for holistic medicine.
Demand of herbal medicine and supplements is increasing
Since many years an increasing number of medical institutions & hospitals worldwide provide alternative medicine. Norway is one the fastest developing nations in terms of alternative medicine. Some governments in Asia also made it mandatory for every healing institute, to have separate integrative medicine research departments, to encourage the integration of modern medicine with traditional medicine systems.
Holistic medical treatments are also much cheaper and more effective regarding chronic diseases than allopathic medicine. For sure there will be a strong shift towards the traditional medical systems all over the world.
