Ayurveda Primer: The A, B, C's of Ayurvedic Medicine
Tirtha, Swami, Sadashiva
Alternative medicines are natural therapies that offer an alternative to modern Western or allopathic medicine. Holistic has several meanings. First it means viewing the whole life of a person. Each area of life affects the other areas (i.e., mind, body, career, relationships, exercise and spirituality). For example stress at work may be causing headaches or high blood pressure. So in addition to treating the symptoms with natural therapies, the holistic approach would look to help reduce the stress at work through lifestyle changes.
All sectors of life are viewed as different areas of the same web of life. If one area is shaken, the whole web shakes. When considering the symptoms of a disease, the holistic practitioner looks at the root causes of the disorder. Is the person getting enough rest and proper nutrition? Are they exercising? How is their social or family life? Are they happy in their career? Are they spending some time pursuing their spirituality (however each person defines spirituality)?
