Holistic Therapy

Holistic medicine addresses the whole individual from a physical, emotional, and spiritual aspect. Modern conventional medicine tends to focus primarily on the physical symptoms of the disease. Holistic medicine generally seeks to find the underlying cause. So, although getting rid of the symptoms of disease is important, it is also recognized that the symptoms may be a method and an integral part of the healing process.
