A
healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Whenever we get sick, our
entire system gets disturbed. However, in order to get well again, we
take lots of medicines and think that all is going to be fine after
that. Although our body recovers, but we don’t pay attention to the
mind. It is important to understand that whenever we are ill, it is
not only the physical state that bears the state. Our mental and
emotional states get hampered too! Being healthy does not only come
from being physically fit. There are other levels of wellness too.
Holistic health is a practice that
emphasizes on treating the ‘whole’ human system. It is an ancient
approach that considers how a person interacts with a particular
environment. Holistic health makes use of various therapies and
techniques, to bring the proper balance of body, emotions, mind and
spirit. When a person’s overall well-being is assessed and treated,
then only it can be considered as proper healing. This philosophy of
care is based on developing a sound spirit, a sound body and a sound
mind. In holistic health practices, the patient is a person, not a
disease. And actually, this approach of comprehensive treatment
should be promoted more.
So,
from now on, if you ever get unwell, don’t rely only on medicines.
Think of holistic health practice. Your mind, soul and spirit are as
equally important as your body. What better way to treat yourself as
an individual with specific requirements and a holistic approach to
better yourself.
