Holistic therapies - Holistic Medicine - Traditional Chinese Medicine - Alternative therapies

The term "holistic" derives from the Greek word whole («όλον»). In holistic therapies therefore, we not only treat the symptoms, but also the individual as a whole «όλον», meaning as a personality.

It is important to know what are the individual's life habits, the breadth and the intensity of his/her stress, his/her interpersonal relationships, his/her eating habits, his/her beliefs, his/her emotions and most importantly, how all the above are involved and relate to the various psychophysical problems; ailments, pains and negative manifestations that are troubling that person.

In holistic medicine we treat the human being as a soul and body, examining the various problems on all levels- interpersonal, emotional, physical, intellectual, spiritual.

Holistic therapies are used on a multitude of ailments but also for revitalization and wellbeing. Migraines, headaches, muscle pains, backaches (lumbago), sciatica, arthritis, cervical spine syndrome, spinal cord problems, internal organ pains, hormonal dysfunctions, vertigo, allergies, asthma, pulmonary problems, gynecological problems, injuries, constipation, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), indigestion, metabolism regulation, dermatological problems, black circles, blotches/freckles, wrinkles, circulation problems and numerous other ailments are treatable- or can be improved upon (case by case basis). Holistic therapies provide excellent results.

Holistic therapies do not in any way substitute standard medicine when it comes to severe health problems or surgeries. They can though help to prevent diseases by maintaining the health and harmony of the body and soul.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Holistic therapies are implemented in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM):

Chinese Medicine is an independent and philosophical system of practical thought, which has been significant for over two millennia.
It is based on ancient texts and encompasses an enormous amount of clinical experience.
It is rooted in the philosophy of logic and in the habits of a civilization entirely different from the western world.
It has created its own understanding on issues of health and disease.
In Western Medicine the illness is treated exclusively with medications. The doctor begins with a symptom and then looks for the underlying pathological cause so that they may cure that particular symptom or illness.
On the contrary, Chinese Medicine orients its therapy holistically, focusing on the physiology and the psychology of the entire patient.
