What are Holistic & Naturopathic Medicine?

The challenges to our health in today’s complex world are many and varied; chemicals, food additives, junk food, genetically modified food, air pollution, environmental toxins and much more. Cancer and other disease rates are increasing dramatically with no end in site.

Holistic Medicine (also called Naturopathic Medicine) is a system of health care that uses natural substances to treat the patient and recognition that the patient’s mental, emotional, and physical states must all be considered for a lasting effect. Holistic practitioners focus on identifying and correcting the cause of a condition. They do not simply manage symptoms. Holistic medicine focuses on the cause and then the reversal of the condition.

The Foundation of Holistic Health Sciences

The fundamental philosophy is the “healing power of nature”. Holistic health recognizes and uses the fact that the body is a self-healing organism if given the proper nutrition and environment to function normally. Quite simply holistic health is a system which is concerned with the whole person (body, mind & spirit), rather than just the problems afflicting his/her various organs and systems.

To accomplish these goals, holistic health science incorporates many therapeutic modalities: food, nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, lifestyle and counselling.

Naturopathic Medicine care treats the patient from the preventive stage all the way through to serious, chronic and debilitating disease. Therefore, people can go to holistic health practitioners for colds, bronchitis, allergies, as well as for menopause, heart disease, diabetes, weight loss and malignant diseases. The bottom line is the focus on “wellness” and helping our body to heal and to do what it should normally do. Holistic health does not focus solely on managing symptoms.
