Body and Mind
Holistic means Care for the whole person, both body and mind. This holistic approach to health differs from the conventional medical approach in that it takes into account the whole patient rather than just focusing on the symptom or the part that has the problem. Your body has a vital force or life energy. It is this force that protects the body from disease and allows it to heal. We often refer to it as the "immune system". When the balance of the immune system is disturbed we the see the various symptoms of such imbalances - we experience dis-ease
Holistic therapies aim to help the patient restore the balance, thus allowing the body to heal itself naturally
Stressing the importance of an holistic approach to healing
Stress is the adverse reaction that most people have to excessive demands and pressures placed on them, both at home and in the workplace.
Left untreated , stress can be the sole contributor to problems arising such as:
Migraine, Muscle tension, Fatigue, Insomnia, Anxiety attacks, Depression,
High blood pressure and Heart problems.....to name but a few.
The way forward
This need not be the case. We visit the doctor when we become ill to treat the symptoms, but we also need to understand that we need to take care of our health naturally before these symptoms start to appear. By taking a holistic approach, I treat people as a whole, that is, not just attending to the symptoms, but also to review the person’s entire lifestyle. It is important for our health and well-being to take time out from our busy lifestyles to relax, unwind and re-energise our mind and body. Reflexology is the perfect holistic therapy to eradicate the symptoms of stress and allow us to live a healthy balanced life.
