Medicine

Holistic Medicine - Treating The Whole Person
Holism (the word is derived from the Greek holos, meaning ‘whole’) is the idea that everything in the universe is greater than, and different from, the sum of its parts. Holistic medicine is an approach to health that aims to deal with the patient as a whole and not merely with physical symptoms. It takes into account the psychological state of an individual, social and environmental factors, and an indefinable dimension known as “Spirit”.

The Power of The Mind
In holistic medicine, spiritual concerns rank with those of the mind and body. In his studies, Professor Benson found that 23% of his patients reported feeling ‘more spiritual’ after relaxation exercises and experienced fewer medical symptoms than those reporting no increase in spirituality. In 1995, US researchers at the Dartmouth Medical School found that patients who derived strength and comfort from religious faith were three times more likely to survive the six months after open-heart surgery than those with no religious beliefs. The same study also reported that people who never crossed the threshold of a church, yet nonetheless held deep spiritual beliefs, were equally likely to survive. Being actively involved with some sort of organization, whether a choir or political party, conferred the same protection, and the combination of faith and participation in any kind of group increased the likelihood of post-operative survival nine-fold. More relevant to our well-being than organized religion and church membership, it seems, is a spiritual awareness and ‘connectedness’ with fellow human beings.

Complementary Medicine
Today, interest in complimentary medicine appears to be worldwide. Popularity in the West has grown steadily since the 1970s, accelerating in the 1980s and 1990s. In Europe, studies suggest that between one third and half of the adult population has used some form of complementary medicine at some time, although the popularity of different therapies and regulations concerning their practice vary from one country to another. In 1995, a Consumers’ Association survey in the UK revealed that osteopathy, chiropractic, homeopathy, aromatherapy and acupuncture were the most popular therapies.
