Many of us have heard about holistic
healing and alternative medicine but aren't entirely sure what they are. The
American Holistic Health Association (AHHA) defines holistic health as an
approach that encourages the following; balance and integrations of physical,
mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects; establishment of respectful,
cooperative relationships with others and the environment; wellness-oriented
lifestyle choices; self participation in health decisions and the healing
process. These are pretty wide guidelines, which open the door for a variety of
interpretations of what holistic healing entails.
|
|
|
Basically holistic healing approaches
wellness through all parts of the individual as opposed to solely the physical
aspect. Holistic healing addresses the physical manifestation of illness by
treating the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the body. The
cornerstone of holism is the concept that the whole is made up of
interdependent parts. Holistic healers look at the "whole person" in order to
evaluate their physical symptoms; the symptom is used as a guide to look below
the surface for the root cause. Holistic physicians expend as much effort in
establishing what kind of patient has a disease as they do in establishing what
kind of disease a patient has.

|
|
If you are interested in a career as a
holistic practitioner, you must first become qualified in one or more methods
of delivering healthcare, such as chiropractic, massage therapy, medicine,
naturopathy, or psychology. Then you add on the holistic qualities and
philosophy. Holistic physicians encourage patients to evoke the healing power
of love, hope, humor and enthusiasm, and to release the toxic consequences of
hostility, shame, greed, depression, and prolonged fear, anger, and grief.
