Description
Melbourne Wholistic Medicine is a philosophy of medical care that encourages responsibility and participation in ones own health care. Patients are encouraged where possible to accept responsibility for restoring their own health. The doctor patient relationship is based on a partnership, where both work together to achieve a common goal. Wholistic Medicine or holistic medicine combines conventional medical and alternative therapies Focuses on the whole person, not just the sick part Believes that healing is a natural phenomenon Works in partnership with the patient to restore health Works to strengthen the power of the mind Strives to improve the physical, as well as the emotional and spiritual being Treats each person as an individual AHMA - Principles of Wholistic Medical Practice: 1. Wholistic physicians embrace a variety of safe, effective options in diagnosis and treatment, including: a) education for lifestyle changes and self-care; b) complementary approaches c) conventional drugs and surgery 2.
Searching for the underlaying cause of disease is preferable to treating symptoms alone. 3. Wholistic physicians expend as much effort in establishing what kind of patient has a disease as they do in establishing what kind of disease a patient has.4. It is preferable to diagnose and treat patients as unique individuals rather than as members of a disease category.
