Importance of Holistic Health
Holistic health is a concept in medical practice upholding that all aspects of people’s needs, psychological, physical and social, and mentally should be taken into account and seen as a whole. The concept of holistic health is very important, because it gives people new sight in human health and results in a holistic approach.
Holistic health is based on the law of nature that a whole is made up of interdependent parts. People begin to see human body as a whole instead of detached parts. The earth is made up of systems, such as air, land, water, plants and animals. In the same way, an individual is a whole made up of interdependent parts, which are the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. When one part is not working at its best, it impacts all of other parts. Furthermore, the whole person, including all of the parts, is constantly interacting with everything in the surrounding environment.
Another reason why holistic health is important is that it provides people a new approach in therapy. A holistic approach to healing goes beyond just eliminating symptoms. Even though the irritation is eliminated, the real problem still exists. In holistic medicine, a symptom is considered a message that something needs attention. So, the symptom is used as a guide to look below the surface for the root cause. Then what really needs attention can be confirmed.
Holistic Health is not itself a method of treatment, but an approach to how treatment should be applied. Holistic concepts of health and fitness view achieving and maintaining good health as requiring more than just taking care of the various singular components that make up the physical body, additionally incorporating aspects such as emotional and spiritual well-being. The goal is a wellness that encompasses the entire person, rather than just eliminating physical pain or disease.
