Holistic Health is an all-encompassing and conscious approach to life and wellness. Instead of focusing on symptoms, holistic health practitioners help you create positive life patterns that lead to a balanced emotional, mind, and body connection.
Here at VELL, we utilize ancient Eastern views along with modern health awareness teachings that consider the whole person and how he or she interacts with the environment. Built at the intersection of Eastern wisdom and the best of conventional Western thought, holistic health emphasizes the connection between mind, body, and spirit in an effort to improve physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing knowing that they are all interconnected.
Becoming a Whole You
As we care for the whole person by focusing on their physical, mental, and social needs, we understand that each of these aspects affects overall health in many different ways. That’s why following a holistic approach to wellness is the key to unlocking your potential in achieving optimal health.
Stress, for example, is a psychological response to mental or emotional pressure which can also manifest in a variety of physical symptoms: headaches, eating disorders, trouble sleeping, and chronic muscle pain to name a few. If left untreated, stress can lead to more serious health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
It has been scientifically proven that cultivating healthy relationships, making time for physical exercise and spiritual practices, or simply devoting time to doing the things that bring you joy, can significantly reduce stress and associated health risks.
The Way of a Holistic Practitioner
Since holistic practitioners emphasize a strong connection between mind, body, and emotion, they don’t just ask you about your symptoms, they ask about you, your lifestyle, and your environment. Compared to general health practitioners, holistic doctors develop a treatment plan that includes unorthodox therapy techniques such as meditation, acupuncture, food therapy, and herbalism.
When visiting a holistic doctor for the first time, you can expect your visit to last around 90 minutes which is more in most cases than conventional medicine visits will allow. Holistic practitioners by nature should prioritize building a nurturing relationship with a patient which in turn can be very refreshing for the person seeking treatment.
While conventional medicine MDs specializing in different areas of health may work together to treat disease by controlling its individual symptoms, holistic physicians will generally apply a comprehensive and preventive approach that encompasses the entire body. They combine the best methods of conventional medicine with integrative techniques to reach optimal results. So, instead of waiting for something to go wrong, holistic doctors focus on the whole person, restoring balance, maintaining wellness, and preventing disease.
