What is A Holistic Health Practitioner?

Imagine you suffer from constantly waking up in the middle of the night with chills. Do you first go see a traditional doctor or a holistic health professional? While a Western medicine doctor might effectively diagnose the physical causes of your illness, holistic medicine takes an alternative approach.

 

Holistic health practitioners don’t focus on one singular aspect of the human body. They’re more concerned about overall health and how the human body, mind, and spirit intertwine

​

What Exactly is Holistic Health?

Holistic health is a 360-degree, “umbrella approach” that examines your overall physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual state. How is everything functioning holistically as one systematic, bodily unit? Holistic health centers around naturopathy, aromatherapy, regenerative and alternative remedies that focus on the well being of the body, mind and spirit. In today's world when it comes to overall health, interaction between Eastern and Western Medicine is key to promoting optimum health and recovery. 

​

Through this comprehensive lens, holistic health isn’t about one or two physical symptoms—it revolves around making micro improvements to the body to achieve optimal wellness.

It’s also rooted in achieving a greater state of balance. In turn, this may prevent certain ailments from manifesting by nourishing the body properly and limiting exposure to certain chemicals and toxins.

​

Evaluate Baseline Health

Typically, a holistic health practitioner will scan a patient’s medical history first and conduct an overall wellness assessment. These types of evaluations usually entail diagnostic tests such as blood tests, urine tests, MRI scans, and X-rays. Often, these baseline evaluations may also include a physical examination. The real goal here is to pinpoint any underlying causes for a patient’s health condition and create a more comprehensive prevention or treatment plan.

Recommend Best Treatments

Treatment plans may involve a blend of conventional, Western-medicine treatment and alternative healing techniques to achieve long-term, optimal wellness.

​

Provide Continuous Support

Depending on a patient’s needs, a holistic health practitioner may craft a tailored follow-up plan to ensure the patient stays on course with their wellness roadmap. Check-ins are vital, as it’s common to refer patients to outside medical providers, potentially for psychiatric or more invasive medical needs, such as surgery. It’s also critical to provide up-to-date education around relevant topics such as disease prevention and nutrition.
