Principles of Holistic Medicine

Holistic medicine is also based on the belief that unconditional love and support is the most powerful healer and a person is ultimately responsible for their own health and well-being. Other principles of holistic medicine include the following:

​

• All people have innate healing powers.

• The patient is a person, not a disease.

• Healing takes a team approach involving the patient and practitioner, and addresses all aspects of a person's life using a variety of health care practices.

• Treatment involves fixing the cause of the condition, not just alleviating the symptoms.

Our Philosophy

Holistic medicine is a form of healing that considers the whole person -- body, mind, spirit, and emotions -- in the quest for optimal health and wellness. According to the holistic medicine philosophy, one can achieve optimal health -- the primary goal of holistic medicine practice -- by gaining proper balance in life.

​

Holistic medicine practitioners believe that the whole person is made up of interdependent parts and if one part is not working properly, all the other parts will be affected. In this way, if people have imbalances (physical, emotional, or spiritual) in their lives, it can negatively affect their overall health.  A holistic practitioner may use all forms of health care, from referrals for allopathic practitioners and specialists to alternative therapies, to treat a patient.
