Holistic Health Care
Holistic health care has its roots in ancient healing arts which sprang from the oldest civilizations on earth. These holistic health care modalities have become popular as people are looking for alternative health care options. This search results from disenchantment with the allopathic medicine frame of reference used in western medicine and western cultures’ materialistic focus.There are many branches available to seekers of holistic health care: ayurvedic medicine; chinese medicine; native american medicine; homeopathy and naturopathy are major precursors of the variety of options available today. These modalities are based on models focused on the interrelationship of interactive systems. Assumptions include ideas regarding the interconnectedness, interdependence and interaction of all things living and non-living. Cycles and circularity are emphasized. The universe is an integral part of the system. There is no separation of entities except in the perception of the beholder of the relationship.Quantum physics is the underpinning for views of reality adopted by ancient cultures. Holistic health care including ayurvedic medicine, chinese medicine, and native american medicine are part of this conceptualization of reality. The healthy human body is considered a reflection of its interaction within harmonious universal processes and cannot be isolated from these. Illness results from imbalance in the relationship between body, mind and spirit. Bringing back balance in
relationship to the whole creates health. This is the crux of holistic health care, which is grounded in eastern thought.Persons trained in allotropic medicine often miss the importance of these nuances. Holistic health care views the whole, while westerners fractionalize and concentrate on separation of the system into parts. Consequently much of western research misses the boat, as important factors are not included in research. It’s like observing the concentric rings atop water, while failing to include the original object in the sequence of events. That is precisely what happens when technological information is construed as the be all, end all in diagnosis. The body is treated outside its context, therefore healing may or may not occur.Holistic health care proponents practicing ayurvedic medicine, ancient chinese medicine, and native american medicine consider environmental, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual factors when making a diagnosis and designing treatment. Everything is considered in its context. The person being treated is a responsible participant in the healing process. Self-healing techniques are encouraged. Meditation, message, yoga, tai chi, and the use of food and herbs are among some of the most commonly used techniques. These involve an ongoing commitment to be personally responsible for participating in the quest for wellness.
