●Treatment for the body, mind, spirit and emotions, holistic therapy simply refers to treating the whole person rather than individual symptoms. Also widely known as CAM – complementary and alternative medicine – holistic practices assist in regaining the physical and energy balances of the body.
●What can holistic therapy help with?
Holistic therapies have been effectively used for centuries and can play an important role in maintaining good health and overall well-being. Rather than addressing individual symptoms, a holistic therapist will look for the underlying cause by considering physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual states of health and well-being.
●‘Holistic’ comes from the Greek word holos, meaning ‘whole’
●We cannot live a happy and meaningful life if we are disconnected and fragmented. This is why it is so important to look at all the elements of health simultaneously. Holistic therapies can provide support with:
●Physical health: bodily aches, chronic pain, illnesses, tension, fatigue and diseases.
●Emotional health: feelings such as anger, sadness, or worry.
●Mental health: all our limiting beliefs that manifest as depression, anxiety and stress e.g. “I am not good enough.”
●Spiritual health: feeling empty, lost, incomplete, disconnected and fragmented.
