The American Holistic Medical Association says, “Holistic medicine is the art and science of healing that addresses the whole person – body, mind, and spirit”.

The practice of holistic medicine integrates conventional and alternative therapies to prevent and treat disease, and most importantly, to promote optimal health. This condition of holistic health is defined as the unlimited and unimpeded free flow of life force energy through body, mind, and spirit.

Holistic medicine encompasses all safe and appropriate modalities of diagnosis and treatment. It includes analysis of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, spiritual and lifestyle elements. Holistic medicine focuses upon patient education and participation in the healing process.“

Holistic Medicine is far more than the random or simultaneous application of a variety of ‘alternative’ therapies. Holistic Medical Practitioners work with the perspective that each of their clients is a unique individual and therefore require individualized care. The goal is to help them move to a state of full health, as opposed to just being free of symptoms. Holistic Medicine is also concerned with the health of the family and overall community as we are all inter-connected.
