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.

Injection Therapy for Health and Wellness

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.

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.

Adrenal Hormones and How They Affect Us

When you hear the words “adrenal glands” you might automatically think of “adrenaline”. While that association is correct, your adrenal glands do a lot more than just produce adrenaline.

Acupuncture for Health and Wellness

Acupuncture is an ancient medicinal technique that has been used for thousands of years. It is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine that aims to improve the flow of qi through the body.

Releasing the qi to flow through the body can improve organ function, relieve pain, and increase overall quality of life. Medical knowledge has come a long way since the origins of acupuncture to improve the flow of qi in the body but acupuncture is still considered an effective way of treating and assisting with medical conditions and has migrated from China to be used all across the world.
