That's right; holistic or holism remains as the standard approach
towards total health and vitality. Yes, holism thus typically emphasized
on the whole being or to be precise on the entire structure. Yes, it
looks at how each part affects the whole and thus affects on total
health. And this is exactly where the holistic health practitioner has
been playing their part. They deal with life situations while keeping
the whole being in mind. Yes, they treat the individual parts, which are
affected. Thus alternative therapies are just not all about treating
just the symptoms.
Face this - the human body is not like a car,
which gets a flat tire and you simply replace and your car once again is
up and in running condition. Rather, it is more like a shopping cart,
with a broken wheel that affects and vibrates the entire cart. Yes,
alternative therapies thus attempt to treat all the systems of the
being.
It is all about the mind, the body, the emotions, and the
spirit and the holistic health practitioner ushers in balance and
harmony to the whole structure. Yes, they pay attention to all the
specific parts as well as the entire system of the body. The symptoms
are first analyzed in order to identify the existing problems, which are
affecting the various parts of the body. The idea is however simple to
help you achieve complete health and vitality while treating the
whole-being in mind rather than treating just the symptoms or the parts
that exhibit the symptoms.
According to the holistic health
practitioner, the human body is typically made up of many parts and each
of the part is dependent upon the other for a rather balanced
functioning of the whole. Look at the bigger picture and you find that
each system is interdependent upon the other.
As a matter of fact,
often we do things which affect the whole system. For instance we
absorb, digest, and inhale toxins every day and the toxins thus develop
free radicals. So unless we offset the free radicals with anti-oxidants,
our bodies will rust from the inside out.
Alternative therapies
thus suggest that balance that everyone is looking for to achieve
complete health and vitality thus comes from:
a well balanced diet,
plenty of rest, re-learning the art of breathing, drinking good quality
and good quality of water every day, learning the art of handling stress
and by involving a good exercise regime.
