Principles of Holistic medicine

Holistic medicine is based on the belief that unconditional love and support is the most powerful healer and a person is ultimately responsible for his or her own health and well-being. Other principles of holistic medicine include the following:

• All people have innate healing powers.
• The patient is a person, not a disease.
• Healing takes a team approach involving the patient and doctor, and addresses all aspects of a person’s life using a variety of health care practices.
• Treatment involves fixing the cause of the condition, not just alleviating the symptoms.
