Holistic healthcare and the holistic approach are buzzwords right now. It feels like every healthcare provider these days is a holistic health practitioner. Don’t believe the hype because they are all not taking the holistic approach. The reason it has been so hard to separate the real ones from the fake providers is that the definition of what holistic even means often get confused and misused. Holistic healthcare stops looking at a person as just a disease that needs medical intervention. Instead, it looks at healing every aspect that makes us human. Holistic health looks at:
- Mental health
- Physical health
- Spiritual health
- Emotional health
- Social health
The Holistic Health Practioner Has Humility
The holistic health practitioner understands that you are never genuinely healed from anything until you have treated all five of these areas. An acupuncturist, for example, recognizes that though you may be physically recovered from an injury, you may still be dealing with a lot mentally and emotionally. There are things an acupuncturist can do to help the emotional side, but good providers understand they can’t help all five of these areas. The key to a good holistic health practitioner is the humility to know when it is time to refer.
Holistic Health Asks What Else Where Else?
If you are dealing with chest pains, traditional medicine looks to make the chest pains stop hurting. Whether through drugs or the suggestion of surgeries they find a way to stomp out the symptoms. Holistic healthcare wants to know what else is there that we have not looked, and where have we not looked for answers. The drugs could help the chest pains but what about that person’s lifestyle?
- How do you eat?
- How is your social life?
- Do you feel spiritually whole?
- Have you been taking care of your mental health?
- Have you been doing too much bench press?
A holistic health practitioner is not satisfied until they have explored all of these areas. They believe that you can experience some healing by healing each of these areas on their own, but you get the most healing by experiencing them on your own.
