Holistic Healthcare vs Western Medicine: What's the Difference?

How many times have you been to the doctor and you feel as if you are not being heard and you leave without the answers to your questions? It is common to go to the doctor’s and feel like just another appointment on a full day. The root of your issue is not discovered, but you probably head home with a prescription to treat one of your symptoms that may or may not help, but almost certainly will come with less than desirable side effects. In the end, it's possible to end up feeling worse than when you started the process both physically and emotionally. For this reason, alternative approaches to medicine such as holistic healthcare have become more popular. You have a choice on how you take care of your body and to discover why western medicine may not be the best option out there.

How a Functional Approach to Medicine Could Change Your Life

Advances in technology over the years have made Western Medicine the customary route when it comes to medical needs. Long gone are the days of “healers” misdiagnosing patients due to lack of technology and experience. However, technology and advancements are not always failproof. While scientists and physicians can better understand diseases, we as human beings are all still unique – we are not cookie-cutter cases.

Injection Therapy for Health and Wellness

The road to holistic health looks different for everyone. When we speak about “holistic” health and wellness, we are considering not only the disease or issue that ails you, we are looking at the whole picture of mental and social factors as well as physical. Many times, the recommendations made by your holistic healthcare provider will involve making different lifestyle choices like diet and exercise changes, in addition to medicines, procedures, and supplements prescribed. For many circumstances, however, your doctor might additionally suggest injection therapy to help heal both your body and your mind.

Probiotics Vs. Prebiotics: What's the Difference?

And if you’re just beginning a journey to take better care of your body and focus more on health, your gut is a great place to start. So much goes on in your belly, several different organs working in conjunction with each other to process food which fuels your body and makes everything run. But now you’ve probably heard about prebiotics as well and you might be wondering: what are these things and why do I need them?

Improving Immune Function with Acupuncture

Acupuncture has played an important role in traditional ancient Chinese medicine for centuries. Medical practitioners and healers in Eastern countries have long used acupuncture to address the discomfort of patients exhibiting many different symptoms, including headaches, dental pain, menstrual cramps, and respiratory disorders, to name just a few.

Establishing a Morning Routine to Create a Healthier, Happier You

HUMANS are creatures of habit, pure and simple. We like traditions, customs, festivals – they make us feel good and on track. And a routine is our own personal set of traditions and rituals that we move through each and every day, often without pausing to reflect upon what we are doing or why. A strong routine gives us a balanced life, an understanding of what we need to do and when to navigate the trials and tribulations of daily life.
