Holistic medicine is an increasingly more popular form of treatment for many health issues suffered by Americans. Treating a patient holistically means treating all of their needs including psychological, physical and emotional rather than just the physical manifestation of the underlying issue. By combining conventional medicine with alternative treatments holistic practitioners are able to treat each patient as complete individual.
No two people are exactly alike. Therefore, each person’s physical, mental and emotional needs are truly unique. At Health Through Awareness, our holistic practitioners believe that when a person is able to strike a healthy balance among mind, body and spirit that they will benefit from an increased sense of health and well-being. This overall sense of well-being is just one of the many benefits of holistic lifestyle changes. Holistic medicine can be applied to an endless number of health issues including, weight loss, pain management, stress and fatigue. Getting these issues alone under control can aid in the prevention of more serious health problems down the road.
This is not to say that conventional medicine does not have it’s place. Holistic medicine is simply preferred by many because of its less invasive nature. Holistic applications in general are far gentler to your body and its systems. Holistic remedies also produce fewer negative side effects and in most cases no negative side effects are reported.
Some of the most popular holistic medicine therapies include: Reiki, aromatherapy, herbalism, infrared detoxification and finally, diet in terms of the quality and types of foods to consume rather than portion/calorie control.
At Health Through Awareness we work with our patients to find a comfortable balance between conventional healing and holistic healing. Our goal is to educate and empower our patients to make informed decisions when it comes to making healthy changes in their daily routines. We want to develop relationships with our patients that foster the ability to find holistic therapies that each individual patient is comfortable with while still remaining effective.

I’d heard that many were turning to holistic medicine and wondered if I should check it out for myself. You wrote that due to people having unique health needs, holistic medicine approaches health in a more improving your overall well being kind of way and trying to find your perfect balance. This sounds great, as it could help me relieve a few different issues I have that may be connected in some way.
