Fun Holidays - Holistic Therapy Day

A holistic approach to human treatment is not the treatment of a specific disease, but the improvement of the entire body as a whole Help for the patient is provided taking into account his existing needs - physiological, psychological and social The focus of medical practice is the patient's body, spirit and mind This approach allows people to be healed without a lot of medications and unnecessary procedures In honor of this type of therapy, which belongs to alternative methods of treatment, the Day of Holistic Medicine was established The unofficial holiday Holistic Therapy Day is celebrated on July 26th The term "holistic" is derived from the ancient Greek word "holon", meaning unity and integrity In accordance with this concept, the patient’s body is considered in the interconnection of all organs and systems The ancient Greek scientist Heraclitus is considered the founder of holism Beliefs of someone who lived in the 5th century BC are based on the statement “From one - all, from everything - one” At the philosophical level, the holistic approach takes into account the interaction of man with the Universe, the influence of the processes occurring in it on the body and its internal structures Therefore, alternative medicine does not deal, like traditional medicine, with eliminating the symptoms of a disease Holistic therapy is aimed at finding the cause of the deviation that caused a change in the physical and mental state of a person Healing methods are aimed at increasing vitality by activating the body's internal self-regulation Holistic medicine uses techniques such as colon hydrotherapy (colon lavage) and orthomolecular medicine, which includes diets, a balanced diet, and the use of dietary supplements and vitamins for health purposes Many treatment methods used by supporters of this trend have been known for a long time: acupuncture, herbal medicine, Ayurveda, osteopathy, etc Methods of influencing the body also include metabolic therapy, which activates internal processes and forces inherent in the body by nature itself Doctors of holistic medicine pay attention to the traumatic experiences of their patients, the presence of stressful situations in their lives that caused negative mental attitudes, nervous, hormonal and other disruptions The doctor directs efforts to remove blocks in the body, including both physical (pinches of nerves and muscles, bone displacements) and psychological, for the free movement of vital force In order to activate self-regulation processes, stress-provoking factors are removed, as well as emotions of anger, fear, sadness and sadness A person is not a biorobot When taking various regulatory drugs (medicines), his body is subject to constant maladaptation of self-regulatory systems Holistic therapy is aimed at using non-traditional treatment methods to identify the cause of pathology and eliminate it Thanks to homeopathy, chiropractic, gerudo- and herbal medicine, Ayurveda, su-jok therapy and other methods, patients are returned to their vital resources, and the body copes with the disease on its own
