About Holistic Wellness
Holistic Wellness can be described an approach to life that looks at the big picture to see why the body is not functioning optimally rather than focusing too much on an illness or a specific part of the body. It emphasizes the connection between mind, body & spirit, i.e. the connection between emotional health and physical health.
Holistic Healthcare Professionals encourage their clients to accept responsibility for their own level of well-being, working in partnership rather than taking control for them. They may recommend a number of different treatments that support the body's natural healing system. These may include several of the therapies offered by Derwen Therapies as listed in the left menu.
The holistic approach goes beyond just eliminating symptoms. For example, taking an aspirin for a headache would be like disconnecting the oil light on the dash of a car when it flashes. The irritation is eliminated, but the real problem still exists. Holistically, a symptom is considered as a message that something needs attention. So, the symptom is used as a guide to look below the surface for the root cause. Then what really needs attention can be addressed.
