About Holistic Healthcare
Introduction
At Healing Hands we focus on various methods of holistic health care. Holistic medicine is the science of healing that addresses the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. The practice of holistic medicine integrates both conventional and alternative methods to prevent and treat disease, and most importantly, to promote optimum health.
Holistic medicine encompasses all safe and appropriate modalities of diagnosis and treatment.

It includes analysis of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, spiritual and lifestyle elements - as is found in the systems of Ayurveda and various Energy Healing practices that we offer. These holistic systems focus upon patient education and participation during the healing process.
Holistic health is based on the law of nature which states that an individual as a whole is made up of interdependent parts, which are the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. When one part is not working at its best, it impacts all of the other parts of that person.
Furthermore, this whole person, including all of the parts, is constantly interacting with everything in the surrounding environment. For example, when an individual is anxious about an exam or a job interview, his or her nervousness may result in a physical reaction - such as a headache or a stomach ache. When people suppress anger at a parent or a boss over a long period of time, they often develop a serious illness - such as migraine headaches, fatigue or even arthritis.
When disease and chronic conditions occur, the holistic principles are applied. We use the holistic approach in partnership with our patients. We can recommend treatments and medicines that support the body’s natural healing system while considering the whole situation.
A holistic approach to healing goes beyond just eliminating symptoms. For example, taking an aspirin for a headache is like disconnecting the oil light on the dash of a car when it flashes. The irritation is eliminated, but the real problem still exists. In holistic medicine, a symptom is considered a message that something needs attention. So, the symptom is used as a guide to look below the surface for the root cause. Then what really needs attention can be addressed.
The various holistic healing methods we adopt can support reaching higher levels of wellness as well as preventing illness. People can enjoy the vitality and well-being that results from their positive lifestyle changes, and are motivated to continue this process throughout their lives.

-
Searching for the underlying causes of disease as well as treating symptoms is preferred.
-
Spending as much effort in establishing what kind of patient has a disease as they do in establishing what kind of disease a patient has.
-
Determining the treatment methods that will work in conjunction with the patient’s own holistic make-up.
-
Preferring preventative measures - evoking the patient’s own innate healing capabilities.
-
Viewing illness as a manifestation of a dysfunction of the whole person, not as an isolated event.
-
Considering the needs, desires, awareness and insight of the patient.
-
Encouraging patients to evoke the healing power of love, hope, humour and enthusiasm, and to release the toxic consequences of hostility, shame, greed, depression, and prolonged fear, anger, and grief.
-
Optimum health is much more than the absence of sickness. It is the conscious pursuit of the highest qualities of the physical, environmental, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of the human experience.
