Holistic Health: an inevitability? Yup!

"The words "diet, exercise, and stress management" roll off the tongue so easily that one can learn to ignore them.....Even in the recent past prevention was focused on recognized lifestyle disorders like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, but now it is becoming clear that the body as a whole is being affected....In short, holistic health has become inevitable. A piecemeal approach to wellness doesn't fit how your body works. It is no longer "alternative" medicine that concerns itself with broad issues of holistic wellness. The need is universal, and the sooner we begin to lay down practical guidelines for living holistically, the closer we will come to higher health."- Deepak Chopra

After reading this article I could almost hear all of the holistic health care enthusiasts and Naturapathic Doctors go "well duh".  It's a shame that only now the western world is figuring out that everything you do affects your whole body and therefore it takes the health of the whole body to deliver a change in the ailing part.  Noone wants healing to come by and visit every now and then but rather have the intention of moving in on a permament basis even if it does go out every now and then.  But that doesn't happen when the body is at war with itself and constantly attacks its own family members, I mean would you want to move in with a family that was at war with itself?

From a massage perspective, healing can be easy, painless and mutually beneficial to both client and practitioner.  While it can increase circulation, increase lymph flow that helps with immune system response, and help with a variety of physical limitations, it can also help counteract the negative effects of stress and anxiety. Lots and lots more on this later........
