Frequently Asked Questions

Why is holistic medicine better?

Holistic health care focuses on treating the whole person rather than on individual symptoms. This involves looking at how someone feels about their body, their diet, where they live, and how much stress they have.

Holistic medicine treats patients as an integrated whole. It may sound simple, but in practice, this approach is very difficult to achieve because most doctors focus solely on the physical side of patients.

What is Alternative Medicine, and how can it help you?

It is a healing approach that focuses on prevention instead of treating. It encourages people to be informed consumers and actively participate in improving their health.

Alternative medicine refers to any system of diagnosis and treatment that does not employ allopathic (conventional) medical practices.

What are the advantages of holistic medicine over traditional medicine?

Many religions and cultures around the world have used holistic medicines for thousands of years. They were developed using ancient knowledge and experiences.

These medications are safe, affordable, effective, natural, as well as cost-effective. Side effects are much less than those associated with pharmaceutical drugs.

They can also improve your health and wellbeing.

They can protect you from disease and improve your overall wellbeing.

They could even be used to treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, asthma and depression.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of traditional medicines all over the world. Each one has its own unique benefits.

The World Health Organization estimates that 80% of the population relies on traditional methods to treat illness or injury.

A reported half-billion people use traditional herbal remedies to get primary healthcare.

The global market in complementary therapies is expected to reach $22.2 Billion by 2020.

To avoid side effects from conventional treatments, people are turning to alternative methods of medical care.

When other treatments fail, many people resort to complementary therapies. They may also try them before resorting to surgery or medication.

There are many reasons why people choose to use complementary therapies.

To improve quality of our lives
To reduce stress levels
For relaxation
To relieve pain
To enhance immunity
Help with managing serious illnesses
To boost energy
To control weight
To maintain good nutrition
To improve sleep patterns
To treat chronic conditions

What are alternative medicines?

Alternative medicine is a treatment that does not fit the criteria of mainstream medicine. These include traditional Chinese medicine.

Alternative medicine may also refer to practices not based on scientific evidence but used successfully in clinical practice. Examples of alternative medicine include meditation, yoga and aromatherapy.

What are the benefits to complementary and alternative medicine?

Complementary or alternative medicine (CAM), is a general term that covers medical practices that people use when they feel they don’t get enough from allopathic medicines. These therapies include herbs, mind-body treatments such as acupuncture and massage therapy. CAM practitioners often use treatments that are considered “alternative” because they do not fit into conventional medicine’s system of diagnosis and treatment. Many CAM treatments also include elements of traditional medicine. For example, some forms of acupuncture are performed with needles, while others involve acupressure or moxibustion with heat.

Some CAM therapies may be helpful for anxiety, pain relief, stress management or relaxation. They can also help with fatigue and improve your overall sense of well-being. Some CAM therapies address specific conditions like fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and diabetes. Other CAM therapies may simply be enjoyable experiences.

There is no singular definition of what constitutes “CAM”, but most definitions include at the very least one of these:

A holistic perspective that looks at the whole person, including body, mind as well as spirit and environment.
The belief that mind and body interact with each other and have an influence on one another
The belief that illness results from an imbalance between the individual and his/her environment
Focus on the whole person and not just the symptoms.
Combination of Western science and Eastern philosophy
Methods that treat mind, body, spirit in a holistic way
Natural products are better than synthetic chemicals
The healing touch
Mindfulness
Meditation
Acupuncture
Yoga
Herbal remedies
Homeopathy
Chiropractic care
Massage therapy
Hypnotherapy
Spiritual healing
Biofeedback
Nutritional counseling
Energy healing

There are potential risks to certain CAM therapies, in addition to the potential benefits. Incorrectly used, certain CAM therapies could cause serious harm and even death. Other therapies have potential side effects which must be considered against the perceived benefits. Before you make a decision about whether to try any CAM, it is important that you discuss the issues with your doctor.

Is holistic care the same thing?

Holistic Health Care differs from Alternative Medicine because it focuses on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Holistic Health Care considers all aspects of a person’s life including their mental, physical and emotional health, as well as occupational, cultural, social, and familial factors.

Alternative Medicine doesn’t address such issues. It doesn’t address these issues.

Who uses holistic medicine

Holistic medicine treats the whole person and not only specific symptoms. It considers both the mental, and physical aspects.

Holistic medicine encompasses acupuncture and massage therapy, chiropractic treatment as well as nutritional counseling, yoga and other complementary therapies.

A holistic approach to medicine includes those with heart problems, cancer, diabetes, arthritis or depression.

Statistics

How To

How to Deal with My Girlfriend Who Trusts Alternative Medicine

Internet advice is available for those who are dealing with someone suffering from mental illness. However, there is very little information on alternative medicine and how to deal with them.

There seems to be a wide divide between these two groups. Those who are skeptical about conventional medicine and those who are open-minded to its benefits.

What happens when you come across someone who believes in alternative treatments for mental health issues?

Because you don’t know the right way to respond, you might feel confused or frustrated. So what do you say to your partner when he tells you he wants to go to an acupuncturist instead of his doctor? Or when she says she’d rather eat gluten free than take antidepressants.

It is important to ask questions. It could save you lots of heartache later.

These are difficult questions to ask without offending the patient. What if he tells you that he doesn’t trust doctors? Do you tell him he shouldn’t trust anyone?

Or what if he says she thinks antidepressants do not work? Should you tell her that she’s wrong?

This is where the conversation becomes tricky. If you point out her error, it could cause you to upset her further.

Or, you can suggest she sees a psychiatrist. This might cause more problems that it solves. She might get angry at you for suggesting this. She might think you are trying to control her mind.

So what do you need to do?
