What is Medical Herbalism and Holistic Wellness?

We live in a society that thrives on quick fixes regarding our health. When our bodies get run down or we are battling sickness, we want healing immediately. Sure, you can take some form of medication and gain instant relief, or you can look at the symptoms and see them as a warning sign to something going on in your body. 

Basic Principles of Medical Herbalism Holistic Wellness

Holistic health practices focus on the whole body when treating illnesses or addressing health concerns. This encompasses the mind, soul, and physical being of a person. When all of these areas are healthy, the whole person is healthy. When one area is suffering, the entire body suffers with it.

Why You Should Treat Illnesses Naturally

Why should you consider treating your illness naturally when you can just pop a pill and feel better? Holistic wellness coaches ask the question, "Why is your body sick?", not "How can we make the pain go away?". Of course, we want to help the body heal itself, but we do not want to dismiss the symptom. 

Your body is designed to heal itself when properly stimulated. When you look at the body as a whole, you will understand that all symptoms are a sign of a greater problem. Holistic practitioners use a combination of naturopathy, herbal remedies, and other natural methods to treat the body.
