A Brief History of Holistic Medicine
Holistic medicine refers to a system that treats the whole person rather than just the symptoms. Holistic medicine includes all aspects of a person’s life, including their physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, occupational and cultural influences. Prevention is better than treatment. It focuses on prevention and management of disease, such as diet, exercise, relaxation, stress management, and so forth.
Bastyr University was founded in Seattle, in 1972. After the 1996 publication of “Spontaneous Healing,” Dr. Andrew Weil’s book, holistic medicine began to take root. In 1997, the American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA) was founded by Dr. David Williams and Dr. Michael Murray. There are many holistic medicine schools around the world today, including Bastyr University and Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons.
The World Health Organization designated holistic medicine as one the five top trends in healthcare in 2013. This trend integrates conventional care with complementary therapies like homeopathy, acupuncture or herbalism, massage, therapy, reiki, yoga and meditation. This integration seeks to provide safe, efficient, patient-centered care, while minimizing side effects.
Holistic medicine works as a result of an interconnected mind-body-spirit. An imbalance in any of these components can lead to illness. For example:
Stress and anxiety can cause you to become anxious and tense. Cortisol, which is a hormone that promotes inflammation throughout the body, is what your body produces. As a result, you feel tired, weak, and sick.
You feel negative emotions such as anger, fear, grief and sadness when your emotions are high. These feelings can lead to stress in the brain. If untreated, these stress hormones can trigger adrenaline and cortisol production. Adrenaline increases your heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, and heart rate. Cortisol has a negative impact on your immune system and digestive tract. Both hormones can cause fatigue and muscle tension, headaches as well as dizziness.
If your spirit is low, it can cause you to lose faith in yourself and your ability to see the good in others. A lack of self-esteem and confidence can also lead to low self-esteem. This can lead you to poor eating habits and unhealthy relationships. It can also cause low energy. A healthy spirit makes you happy, joyful, peaceful and optimistic.
There is a difference between alternative and allopathic medicine
Allopathic medicine is based upon the scientific method. Doctors use x-rays (MRIs, CAT scanners), and other technologies to diagnose patients. They prescribe medications for treatment and surgery when needed. Allopathic doctors believe they understand the human body, and can prescribe medications to treat ailments. Alternative medicine involves herbs, vitamins minerals, diet, exercise and spiritual healing. There is no standard definition of alternative medicine. Some people call it natural medicine, integrative medicine, and complementary medicine. Some refer to it as traditional, naturopathic, or CAM.
