About Holistic Therapies

The word Holistic originates from Greece, and means 'whole'.  In holistic healing, the whole person - mind, body and spirit - is taken into account. Seeing "the whole person" implies an understanding of a human being as a complicated and particular related collection of energies. Modern medicine seeks only to treat part of the person; we need to do more than just treat the symptom, sometimes we need to treat the whole body mind and spirit.

Although it is a relatively modern concept in the West, Eastern physicians have long been aware that many ailments have a psychosomatic quality and so advocate treatments of the whole person and not just isolated aspects of their make-up.

There are many different types of holistic therapies each with its own list of benefits for the body, mind and spirit. Here are just a few:

• Relieves aches and pains and help to tone the muscles
• Relaxation of tight muscles and helps with stiff joints
• Increases blood circulation
• Stimulates the lymphatic system to aid the removal of waste products in the body
• Improves skin colour/texture/elasticity and breaks down fatty tissue
• Stimulates and soothes nerve endings in the skin
• Encourages a feeling of general relaxation and well being
