As wellness enthusiasts, one question weโre often asked is:
Whatโs the difference between holistic and traditional medicine?
And itโs a fair question!
While they are both types of medicine, there are several key differences that set them apart.
First and foremost, traditional medicine understands the human body as a purely physical entity.
This means that medical treatments typically aim to treat symptoms of physical pain or distress.
Some of the most common forms of treatment are drugs, surgery, and radiation.
On the other hand, holistic medicine understands human beings as multifaceted โ and considers the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit.
A holistic approach takes each aspect of an individualโs life into account in order to uncover the underlying causes of illness.
As such, holistic treatments aim to improve the personโs overall condition and wellbeing.
Holistic medicine often incorporates many traditional treatments โ so you donโt necessarily have to choose between the two!
