The word holistic is used frequently these days - but what does it really mean? Holistic medicine seeks to get to the root cause of a health problem. We are all complicated and unique beings, what is 'normal' for one person is not at all right for another, that is why holistic medicine treats each person as an individual. In searching for the root cause of a problem, the practitioner will need to take a very detailed case history, which will ask about every aspect of the patient's health and lifestyle. This is important to place the current problem into its proper context. We do not simply treat the symptoms, we treat the cause.
