Holistic medicine is based on healing principles and treatments that are intended to prevent dis-ease; and maintains health and wellness by facilitating the body’s innate abilities (to heal itself). 

As an integrative system of health intervention and maintenance, holistic medicine is comprised of mind-body-spirit medicine and natural health treatments like chiropractic, naturopathy, homeopathy, energy healing, and massage therapy.  The philosophy (of all of these complementary therapies) shared in common is the belief in doing no harm and treating the “whole” person, and not just the “dis-ease.”

While some of us may be aware of the term “naturopathy,” not all of us completely understand the origins and foundations of this relatively unique system of integrated healthcare.  Historically, naturopathic medicine was founded on many of the philosophies and teachings of Hippocrates; but the actual development of naturopathy was begun by Dr. Thomas Allinson during the late 1800’s in Scotland.  After that time, naturopathy expanded to various regions of the world; including North America.
