Understanding Holistic Health and Wellness
Your new life begins TODAY!
what is holistic health?
Holistic health is an approach to life that considers multidimensional aspects of wellness. It encourages individuals to recognize the whole person: physical, mental, social, intellectual, and spiritual. Holistic approaches to health are derived from ancient healing traditions that help to achieve higher levels of wellness and prevent disease.
These approaches include the use of traditional medical systems, mind-body-spirit interventions, manipulative and body-based approaches, biological-based therapies, and energy therapy. Most of these approaches are used in combination with each other and with conventional medicine to provide a holistic and integrated approach to health.
These traditional holistic approaches focus on the use of food, herbs, supplements, teas, homeopathic remedies, and essential oils as "medicine".
Holistic approaches include but are not limited to acupuncture, acupressure, biofeedback, massage therapy, chiropractic physicians, manual therapy, naturopathic physicians, meditation, guided imagery, yoga, therapeutic touch, reiki, and other energy therapies.

Adding more holistic health practices into your life can be helpful for increased health and happiness! Holistic wellness focuses on the connection between mind, body, and spirit. It isn't just about treating symptoms, it seeks to find the root causes that create the issues. By living a more holistic lifestyle, you may be able to enhance your body's natural ability to restore itself.
- Treatment involves fixing the cause of the condition, not just easing the symptoms
- The patient is a person, not a disease
- You can achieve the best possible health by gaining proper balance in life

While Western medicine provides amazing life-saving research and treatments, one of its potential downfalls could be a tendency to look at the body in sections or groups of symptoms, rather than as a connected whole. By contrast, holistic health usually embraces wellness in more of a physical, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual sense.
Holistic Health has many benefits:
- Higher levels of happiness and contentment with life
- Lessened physical discomfort
- A healthier body that is less susceptible to illness
- Improved natural healing abilities of the body
- Reduced stress levels

A great way to support your mental health holistically is to journal before bed. Journaling can help you support your mental health by identifying problems, fears, and concerns - as well as the things that are going well in your life!
Here are a few prompts to help start your journaling practice:
- Write a list of things that you're grateful for
- Write a list of things you love about yourself
- What does a great day look like for you?
- List a few activities that bring you joy ( and perhaps make a plan to do one of them tomorrow!)
- Write a letter to your future self or your past self
- What can you learn from a recent mistake?
- Write a note about how much you appreciate someone important in your life
