* Healing through Love * Holistic medical practitioners treat the patient with kindness, acceptance, and love without condition. It is vitally important for the patient to be aware of and understand the power of love in the healing process. * Whole Body Treatment * * Holistic doctors look at the body, mind and spirit all together as important for life. All four aspects must be examined when any treatment is performed in order to give a balanced diagnosis. * Prevention and Treatment. * Rather than only managing symptoms, holistic doctors promote a healthy lifestyle and the prevention of sickness. They aim to raise awareness of the disease and relieve symptoms through optimizing overall well-being. * Natural Healing Power * Holistic medicine promotes the self-healing power of our bodies, minds and spirits. It assists patients in using these powers to progress healing. * Combined Healing Systems. * Holistic medicine teaches safe and effective options for diagnosis and treatment. These derive from a variety of traditional methods and are chosen to best treat the unique needs of each individual. The scope of these aspects includes lifestyle changes as well as conventional drugs and surgery.
