Holistic medicine is a form of healing that considers the whole person -- body, mind, spirit, and emotions -- in the quest for optimal health and wellness. 3 Lakes, a million of possibilities for you to explore inside and outside of yourself. We offer holistic services ( Yoga, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Meditation, Massages, Trekking Yoga, Sound Therapy etc ) in MENAGGIO & BELLAGGIO ( COMO LAKE in Italy ), in PORLEZZA e LUGANO ( LUGANO LAKE in Italy & Switzerland ) and in LOCARNO & ASCONA ( MAGGIORE LAKE in Switzerland ). Holistic medicine is based on the belief that unconditional love and support is the most powerful healer and a person is ultimately responsible for their own health and well-being. Other principles of holistic medicine include the following:
- All people have innate healing powers.
- The patient is a person, not a disease.
- Healing takes a team approach involving the patient and doctor, and addresses all aspects of a person's life using a variety of health care practices.
- Treatment involves fixing the cause of the condition, not just alleviating the symptoms. Holistic practitioners use a variety of treatment techniques to help their patients take responsibility for their own well-being and achieve optimal health. Depending on the practitioner's training, these may include:
- Patient education on lifestyle changes and self-care to promote wellness. This may include diet, exercise, relationship and spiritual counseling, and more
- Complementary and alternative therapies such as Yoga, Ayurveda, Chiropractic care, Homeopathy, Massage therapy, Forest Bathing, Trekking, Naturopathy, and others
