Current Health Trends are Dominated by Holistic Approach
Current Health Trends are Dominated
by Holistic Approach
This year American health trends began making permanent, holistic changes in the health awareness and health care. Holistic healinga, and holistic approach is used by holistic doctors and by people who realize that paying attention to body mind and spiritual self is necessary for optimal life. The basic reason for this change are:
- Economy is changing the life style.
- People are becoming more and more familiar with health awareness and food trends.
- Constant increase in life paralyzing diseases is alerting the new generation.
It is becoming important to know more about holistic medicine following is an initial look into holistic healing and holistic medical treatments.
Holistic Healing
This kind of approach educates the people about the latest and advanced practices by the holistic doctors, for our body, mind and spirit by putting together conventional medicine and complementary holistic therapies that includes organic herbs choices and natural herbal supplements and treatments, including food (in the form of natural vitamins) and health vitamins ( vitamins in the form of capsules) meditation massages and hypnosis. Few of the most popular doctors to promote this are Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Mammoth OZ. and Dr. Deepak Chopra and many more.
This is becoming very intriguing for the patients and doctors both. Pharmacies around America are promoting these natural herbal supplements and spas and massage parlors are playing a primary role also.
Holistic healing is actually life style approach to treat people with a combination of approaches and I feel this the best way to attain optimal healing.
Alternative Medicine Doctors
Alternative medicine is a treatment technique that is not accepted by Allopathic doctors that are usually M. D’s. This kind of practice includes
- Herbal Medications
- Acupuncture treatment
- Homeopathy doctors treatment
- Riki treatment
But all this is changing with the current trends. Now soon it will be officially accepted that alternative medicine is a part of allopathic or conventional medicine. I noticed that general public is appreciating this change as they are getting more choices for treatment and at times it saves them money too.
Complementary Medicine
This term is used for the kind of treatment that includes therapies along with allopathic treatment. It brings lifestyle changes that can completely treat a patient safely and heal illnesses with non-pharmaceutical treatment. For example, treatment of heart disease by diet and exercise prescribed and medicines by a doctor like Dean Ornish,(the American heart specialist who believes, in preventive treatment than surgery for the heart) is complementary medicine. In some cases conventional medicine will play a primary role of a holistic healing and in other treatments of the same nature, allopathic medicines are not used at all. It all depends on the nature of the illness and the doctors special treatment for the patient.
Natural Healing
These holistic healing treatments are referred to use minimal invasive and non-pharmaceutical techniques to treat a patient. This term is usually directed to physical healing only
Integrative Medicine
Actually this term started in the 1990’s when medical practitioner were recognizing the that mind and body are inter-connected. Alternative therapies were being accepted and some of them integrated into the main stream medicine. Massage therapy, acupuncture meditation and chiropractic therapy were among the first therapies to be integrated into established medical care programs.
How does a holistic healer treat?
First the holistic healer will have a look on the patient as a whole to create health assessments. Then he/she will suggest treatment based on the complete evaluation. As he/she believes that a persons discomfort or pain occurs because of imbalance of the body, mind emotions or spirits. All aspects of a person as a whole are looked upon to suggest a diagnosis.
Types of Holistic therapies that are popular today are, aromatherapy, ayurveda medicine, natural diet, exercise, counseling, herbal remedies, homeopathy, acupuncture, energy based therapies, Chinese medicine and natural healing therapies and many more.
All holistic healers are not equal. Based on doctor’s education and method of healing, they have different ways to handle a patient and treatment. So, once you decide to see holistic practitioners, look in detail and see the one who you think will be a good match for you. It is your body mind and spirit that you want to be treated, your health assessment is to be done with the your choice, after a look at the health trends for your optimal health.
Until next time when I bring more treasures for your health.

Great info. It’s cool that we are becoming aware of how nasty foods and habits can seriously damage our health. Although this type of medicine open the door to many snake oil sellers, we should try to consider holistic treatments for many kind of illnesses.

Hi Fran
Great article on alternative therapies.
I recently slipped a disc in my lower back and have been using a combination of Pilates and Yoga to build up strength in my lower back and my core muscles.
Its really helped my a lot and I am now at the stage where I do not need to keep taking pain killers everyday.
Regards
Zahid
Hi Zahid:
Sorry, I feel bad that you were in so much pain. Zahid I noticed you do not take good care of yourself. Now when it comes to working hard, I want the youngesters to work hard, including my two sons. So you all save money and don’t have to work harder in the senior years. But you and your health is the only thing that stays with you. Nothing else is here to stay. So please priortise your obligations, and do not over use your body. You owe it to yourself and your body. If you did not do that, no one will do it for you. that is the law of nature and no one can stop it.
Zahid, I like to tell these things, because no one told me and today my senior years are not so Golden. I want to shout for every one to save yourself for the future. Please think seriously and start doing it from today. Work on being more strong physically than you are, keep an exercise routine to gain strength and eat what is needed by your body.
Thanks for visiting my site and writing a comment.
Have an awesome day.

Hi Fran, that’s an impressive write up.
So many people think about popping a pill every time they don’t feel right and chances are it’s the pills that them feel that way.
Since having a spinal injury I have had to take a variety of pills on a 3 times daily routine but I only take the ones i really have to as they all have some side effects. If not noticable now they may well be in the future.
I’ve been in pain for the last 5-6 years now, constantly, every minute of every day i am in pain but will I take pain killers? Not on your nelly!! I tried them at first for a few days and they didn’t make the slightest difference so i don’t take them anymore.
I’ve had 5 operations to try and stop the pain and every time I’ve come round and told the surgeon it hasn’t worked. We’ve now covered everything that the surgeon thought could be causing it and still i sit in pain 24/7.
I have learnt to live with it now but some days i just have to lay down and try to ease it some how (it’s worse when sitting).
I’ll have to try some of these mentioned here Fran and see if they can help.
Thanks again, Barry

Hi Barry:
Hope you are doing awesome and your business is thriving. I am glad you liked the post. You sound like my husband, he always avoids taking medicine and espacially pain killers. So Barry there are some latest treatments, I watched on TV. Like exercise in the air, that does not produce an impact on body to heal and these holistic healing, something should work for you. Just read a lot about them and you will come up with a reply to yourself what is good for you and then search and find a person who can treat you the way you have decided, because it is your body and you know what will work best for you. I had my heart by pass surgery almost 17 years ago, now I have refused to accept what doctors say, I have become my own doctor, but I go to the doctor and take at least 10 different medicines different times of the day. Several complications including emphyasema bugs me. But I have to go when my time comes.
To your best health.
P.S. tomorrow you will be starting Sally’s IM course

Hey Fran,
Nice post. What are you thoughts about having multiple holistic healers in your life. Every holistic healer has their own specialties, so by combining help of multiple healers you can reap the benefit of all of them.

Hi Alice:
You have a great idea to follow a few holistic healer. I will say first empower yourself with all the information and decide what will work best for you and then use one or few as you feel is necessary. It is your body you know how it works, what does it need to work the best.
Some other people think that expertx know the best, and they should listen to them blindly and follow.
It is your decision that counts. I did like you site and current post. you will find my comment there.

I’m trying to transition into a natural medicine routine but it’s pretty hard. Thanks for the tips and information
Your post have the information that is helpful and very informative. I would like you to keep up the good work.You know how to make your post understandable for most of the people.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment. I have been reading Dr. Weill for a long time, and now he is a well known figure for a while. Tart Cherry juice must become a best seller as almost every one has arthritis and Gout. Gout hurts a lot. It can be treated by avoiding certain food and medication. Simply promote the juice. I hope you sell most of it.

We ordered tart cherry juice while watching the Dr. Oz. TV program. I have been drinking it eversince. I even got it with free shipping from Traverse Bay Farms.
Holistic approaches are also much safer than trying to cure things with prescription drugs. How often do we see prescription drugs being recalled because people are dying from them, even though they were taking the prescribed dosage? Feed your body what it needs & you’ll be surprised at how it takes care of itself. Try loading up on lots of raw fruits & veggies and cut down on the processed foods.

Thanks for the ideas shown using your webpage. Something else I would like to convey is that weight loss is not exactly about going on a celebrity diet and trying to shed as many pounds that you can in a few months. The simplest way to burn fat is by using it bit by bit and following some fundamental ideas which can make it easier to make the most from your attempt to shed weight. You may learn and already be following some tips, yet reinforcing know-how never damages.
Thanks for visiting and writing a comment. your idea of losing fat is also awesome.

Geez, that needle in the cartoon is intense! I’d be more inclined to use holistic methods too if I had something like THAT coming at me.
I totally agree. It should be body, mind, spirit. In other sources, holistic approach focuses on the 5 aspects of human living – physical, mental, emotional, social, and most of all spiritual. A healthy life comprises all of these aspects.
