“What constitutes the state of being healthy?”This is a question that has been answered differently by various groups for a long time!
Allopathic Medicine advocates have maintained that it is a state of being ‘without’ diseases, even though the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates was the one who said, “Health is the expression of a harmonious balance between various component of man’s nature, the environment and ways of life…nature is the physician of disease”. The typical approach of modern or allopathic medicine has been to ‘cure’ disease once they arise. They do not look for the cause of the problem but apply cure to a specific or group of symptoms. |

As against of that, according to traditional medicines, being healthy is not only a state of ‘not’ having diseases but also having the energy to lead life with exuberance. It does not treat the mind and body as different entities like allopathic medicine but considers them together as contributing to a person’s state of health and well being.
Above all, traditional medicines believe that a person’s habits and life-style, their nutritional intake, their exercise patterns all of which determine their energy levels have a direct impact upon their ‘being in a state of health’ and hence by controlling these contributing factors, diseases can be ‘prevented’ and a person can maintain a state of health and vitality.
“Prevention is better than cure” is an adage that alternative practitioners advocate. This fact has now gained complete acceptance in modern medicine and present day nutritionists and life-style consultants play a vital role in health care by guiding their clients to follow a balanced nutrition regimen, complete with herbal and vitamin supplements.
There are various factors that play a major role in maintaining the mind-body equilibrium- this balance is essential for having good health.

What is Alternative Medicine or Wholistic Healing? and How is it different from conventional (allopathic) medicine?
When we hear the term “Alternative Medicine” we know that this means straying from the norm. Instead of using common treatments in medicine, alternative medicine implements different techniques for healing. These approaches can include various therapies (such as massage or magnet), vitamins, supplements, teas, herbs and various healing methods (such as Reiki).
Wholistic healing and alternative medicine both encompass the same idea that there is a holistic way to dealing with problems. According to alternative medicine, diseases and illnesses occur when there are imbalances in the body. Wholistic healing tends to approach illnesses or ailments in relation to our spiritual self as opposed to alternative medicine’s approach which still focuses on the physical body. Wholistic healing focuses on the entire individual instead of solely focusing on the physical self. It offers more long-term plans that improve one’s quality of life.
Alternative medicine uses theories and practices that differentiate from mainstream medicine. Examples of commonly used alternative medicine techniques include homeopathic and naturopathic medicine. This form of medicine is common in China, since it has roots and many similarities to Chinese Medicine, and much of Asia. However, it is possible to find doctors of alternative medicine practically anywhere.

Practitioners of alternative medicine and wholistic healing often refer to main stream medicine as allopathic medicine. The father of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann, coined this term. While many think that they are completely different methods of medicine, allopathic and alternative medicine do have some common roots and understanding. In some cases, they work together in order to provide the optimal results.
As we mentioned, wholistic healing has a look at the entire individual, which includes body, mind and spirit. According to alternative and wholistic healing, making adjustments to one’s lifestyle in order to start living a healthier life does a lot of healing. It is believed that the body, in itself, it capable of healing. We disrupt our natural state of being by allowing toxins and imbalances to build up over time, which is reflected in diseases and discomfort. It encourages readjusting the body so it can heal itself.
Allopathic medicine, on the other hand, focuses on the ailment or disease itself. Instead of treating the individual as a whole, this type of medicine aims to get rid of symptoms of the problem, which is said to be due to foreign bodies such as viruses and bacteria.
The main difference between both medicines is that alternative medicine focuses on the whole subject from the exterior to the interior, regardless of where the problem is physically noticed, whereas allopathic medicine works on treating the symptoms.
