Abstract

Holistic health looks at patients as a whole and spotlights all aspects of that individual. This approach is different from allopathic medicine, the traditional and more prominent form of healthcare that is currently practiced. While groundbreaking research, technological advancements, and a better understanding of the body have allowed allopathic medicine to be successful in many cases of patient care, there are still some instances where allopathic techniques are not the most effective approach. Furthermore, since many diseases display similar symptoms in patients, it is unrealistic to expect that all patients with the same condition will present the same symptoms with the same prevalence. Many diseases also present themselves with similar symptoms, which makes it more challenging for a physician to confidently determine the proper root of the problem, and then prescribe the medication that is perfectly tailored to match the patient’s body. Thus, there are negative consequences that may be associated with taking improper medication.

It is possible to address these concerns by utilizing holistic medicine. The focus on the mind, body, and spirit allows the lifestyle and emotional health of the patient to be considered before prescribing medicine. This notion is built upon the idea that the body has many self-healing tendencies and that other techniques can be used to support the well-being of people. For example, treatment options, such as herbal medicines and alternative techniques that form a strong mind.
