Holistic Medicine is the wholesome approach to Health by a synergy of evidence based ‘science’ of modern medicine with the time honoured ‘art’ of drug-free modalities of all the officially recognised traditional systems for promotion of Positive Health and Total Wellness ‘Body-Mind-Spirit’, i.e..
Holistic Medicine = Modern + Traditional + NewAge Medicine
[Conservative Medicine + Life-Style & Stress Management + Ashtanga Yoga + Acupuncture- Reflexology + Panchakarma-Detoxification + Counseling-Hypnotherapy-PLRT + Reiki + Pranic Healing +Chakra Balancing Regenerative Medicine]
This approach to health matches up to our Vedic concept that health is the greatest wealth, and we need health whether to achieve personal, financial, spiritual growth, or even moksha. It’s guided by the ancient Charaka Samhita which states that life is the combination of the body, the senses, the mind and the ‘atma’; they cannot separated from each other, from this Integration ensues ‘ayush’-the state of positive health and total wellness.
It’s being increasingly recognised world over that it would never be possible to meet all the health expectations of the humanity with the exclusive allopathy based conventional model of health. Therefore, the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) recommends and our National Health Policy has promulgated integration of all the recognised systems of medicine.
It means that we have to grow beyond inherent restrictions of the so called evidence based modern technology.
An ever increasing number of people wish to explore benefits of time honoured traditional, or alternate systems of health which have helped the humanity over thousands of years.
The good news is that we, now, have very rich expertise available to complement the best of drug-based specialities of medicine with various drug free modalities of recogni-sed systems of health to ‘Eliminate all Sickness’ from its root cause and restore Positive Health & Total Wellness, ‘Body, Mind & Spirit.’
This all inclusive complementary approach to health helps to extend the best of each system of medicine, at the same time overcome inherent deficiencies in the respective systems to offer a ‘synergy’ of all of them to ensure ‘Health For All’ at all ages of life and all stages of sickness.
This latest speciality of medicine is called Holistic Medicine. It’s a board certified specialty in the U.S. for nearly two decades, and is catching up very fast amongst the developed nations. Therefore, it’s high time that we adopt it into our health care and make our living years happy and productive.
