Health is not simply the absence of disease. Health is the body constantly struggling to maintain balance. Every aspect in our life can effect our effort to maintain an equilibrium. Diet, lifestyle, and environmental issues can work as triggers that deplete the bodies ability to sustain health.

Holistic medicine perceives the bodies ability to sustain as a defence system. Therefore any changes in feelings, functions or sensations can be seen as symptoms - in the traditional sense. The body, being the most advanced organism in the world, is letting us know it is working to re-establish health. Holistic medicine looks to support and stimulate the natural abilities that we posses by using traditional herbs, homeopathic remedies, nutritional supplements and lifestyle counselling.

The food we eat, just like the gas we put in our cars, provide our bodies with fuel. The quality of the fuel impacts productivity of the individual systems and can determine the longevity for the entire system.

With technology, comes the classic battle between health and convenience. The quality of food is sacrificed with genetically modified, synthetic, refined, and processed foods. Fruits and vegetables today commonly lack the nutrition punch they did 20 years ago. In addition, our bodies ability to assimilate the nutrition that is left is significantly depleted due to the synthetic manufacturing processes and harsh content. If we are consistently strict with our eating habits it will help to maintain optimal health.

Recent research is showing that specific vitamin, mineral, co-enzyme, enzyme, and cell salts extracts can have various benefits for preventing, maintaining and even treating certain conditions effectively and safely.

The principle of action is the application of natural substances, that is directly replace the deficiency. The principle here is the law of opposites administered on the lacking of or excess of diet and regimen.

Herbals use medicinal plants, specifically the active part of such plants, for their therapeutic properties. Throughout history, people have always used plants to heal themselves. The results obtained over millenniums serve as unquestionable reference.

The active ingredients of a medicinal plant are the natural components present in this plant: they give it its therapeutic property. Very often these components are present in minute quantities in the plant. An extraction will be required to isolate a single interesting fraction of the plant.

Homeopathic theory differs from all other health practices, including all natural health modalities due to its unique application and preparation of medicines.

Raw materials are tested in their crude form in healthy individuals and the reactions are documented (known as proving). Provings test the medicinal properties of medicines. The raw material is now diluted and successed, resulting in an “infinitesimal dose“. The now homeopathic medicine is applied to similar symptoms in an individual, stimulating the natural defence mechanisms and restoring balance.

Examples of the application of homeopathy is; the hair of the dog that bit you or treating a burn with hot water.
