Health is not just the absence of disease, it is a state of well-being. It is a lifestyle.

Holistic medicine refers to alternative health practices that claim to treat "the whole person." A person is not just a body with physical parts and systems, but is a spiritual being as well. The mind and the emotions are believed to be connected to this spirit, as well as to the body. Holistic practitioners are truly alternative in the sense that they often avoid surgery or drugs as treatments, though they are quite fond of meditation, prayer, herbs, vitamins, minerals and exotic diets as treatments for a variety of ailments.

Restorative Medicine, on the other hand, is the use of natural substances to assist or recalibrate the body’s innate mechanisms so that the body is returned to a healthy equilibrium. The goal of Restorative Medicine is to offer patients the possibility of getting healthy and staying healthy even after they have finished the treatment.

Holistic Health is actually an approach to life. Rather than focusing on illness or specific parts of the body, this ancient approach to health considers the whole person and how he or she interacts with his or her environment. It emphasizes the connection of mind, body, and spirit. The goal is to achieve maximum well-being, where everything is functioning the very best that is possible. With Holistic Health people accept responsibility for their own level of well-being, and everyday choices are used to take charge of one's own health.
