The Main Components of Holistic Healthcare

Holistic health care has not always gotten the credit and respect it deserves in the medical community. However, there has been a shift in opinion in the last few years concerning this alternative form of medical treatment. As scientific studies are proving more and more what holistic practitioners have been saying for years, many people are starting to turn to the centuries-old practices of holistic health care. At Lakota Wellness, serving Ocoee, FL, and the surrounding areas, we provide holistic health care options for our patients.

A Whole Body Approach 

The foundation of holistic medicine is a whole-body approach when dealing with pain, illness, or disease. This means that when you visit a holistic doctor, we are not simply going to treat your symptoms alone. Natural medicine looks at the whole body to see what imbalance in the body is causing the pain or the illness. Everything about our bodies is interconnected in a very delicate way. When something is imbalanced in any part of the body, it can start to manifest illness or pain there or in other places. This is why your symptoms will never be treated, rather your body will be treated in order to heal your symptoms.

Natural Methods 

Holistic medicine also takes a natural approach to health and healing. This means that you will not usually be prescribed medication when visiting a holistic doctor. Your doctor will develop a treatment plan for you that addresses foundational issues that could affect your health. Foundational issues usually include your sleep patterns, nutrition, hydration, stress management, vitamin and nutrient deficiency, and movement. Our doctor will move intentionally through each of these foundational areas to detect where the imbalance is in your body causing you issues.
