Are you feeling like you are coming down with a cold? Before you reach for your medicine cabinet, you should maybe first consider a different style of treatment such as holistic medicine in Thailand. This concept is very simple; Holistic or Naturopathy/ Nathuropathic Medicine takes into consideration the person as a whole, physically, spiritually, mentally and socially. This means that if one part is not functioning well, then it affects the whole person.

History of Holistic Medicine

According to the HMA (holistic medical association) the first use of this type of medicine dates back to 400 B.C., during that time the Greek physician Hippocrates said that different diseases occur when the body is not balanced. Hippocrates claimed that a person can restore their balance with the use of all-natural substances. He did not promote the use of conventional medicine because he says it is possible that this will interfere with a body’s natural ability to heal itself.

The use of Traditional Chinese “Eastern” Medicine is more than 3,000 year old system that originated in Taoist philosophy. This type of ancient traditions are rooted heavily in the belief that nature and and life are all connected. As medical technologies have evolved, today holistic medicine is primarily used as complementary approach to health and wellness. This is added on to the conventional medicine that regular doctors prescribe to sick people. Health professionals advice their patients to have a healthy lifestyle that involves a nutritious diet, regular exercise and managing any stress related issues to be considered “healthy”.

How is Integrative Holistic Medicine used in Thailand

This approach suggests that everyone who gets sick should not just focus on the illness but also the whole self. Part of the Thai medical process is treating symptoms and looking for underlying causes as well. To explain it simply, it is when a person gets treatment for the illness, then asked to dig deeper. This may reveal a lot of different things such as depression because of unsatisfactory social life.
