Holistic Medical Care refers to a multi-prong approach to medical care that considers traditional medical practices, complementary medical care, and alternative medical approaches.
One example of holistic medical care is referred to as holistic therapy. Holistic therapy can either be provided by a naturopathic doctor or combines the wisdom of traditional medical doctors with the knowledge and experience of a holistic practitioner. Both types of doctors are trained and experienced in natural, alternative medicine. One important difference between the two is that a naturopathic doctor may treat his patients more simply using herbal remedies. A holistic practitioner may utilize more complicated methods of treating a condition, such as acupuncture, diet control, stress management, vitamin D and other supplements, meditation, etc., to help the body cope with the disease.
As a society, we are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of wellness and naturopathy. Being able to properly take care of ourselves has become more than just about healthy eating and exercise. We want to be able to look after our overall health as well. This is why many people today are choosing naturopathic medicine over traditional medicine.
