need to look at the whole person including analysis of the Psychological, Philanthropical, Biochemical, Structural & Financial
lifestyle.
It
encompasses all stated modalities of diagnosis and treatment. Wholistic medicine focuses on education and responsibility for
personal efforts to achieve balance and well being.
DEVELOPMENT
OF WHOLISTIC MEDICINE
Ancient healing traditions as far back as 5,000
years ago in India and China, stressed living a healthy way of life in harmony with nature. Socrates (4th century BC)
warned against treating one part of the body “for the part can never be well unless the whole is well.”
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF WHOLISTIC HEALTH
Wholistic health is based on the law of nature that the whole is made up of interdependent parts. The earth is
made up of air, water, land, plants, insects, fish, animals and humans. In the same way, an individual is a whole made up
of interdependent parts which are;
1) Psychological – Spiritual/Mental
2) Philanthropical – Family/Friends
3) Biochemical
- Nutrition/Hormones
4) Structural – Exercise/Postural
5) Financial – Earnings/Savings
The whole person
is constantly interacting with everyone and everything around them. When a person suppresses anger over a long period
of time, they often develop headaches, high blood pressure and/or stomach ailments.
