Holistic Therapy Day |
Hippocrates, one of the most famous physicians in history was known for his holistic approach to medicine. He felt it wasn’t enough just to focus on ailments like headaches and stomach aches but instead he would treat the whole person by not only focusing on their physical symptoms but also mental health as well. Modern Holistic Therapy is a medical practice where the doctor takes into account all of your symptoms and tries to find out what it might be causing them. This contrasts with traditional medicine, which would just focus on treating whatever symptom you have at that point in time without looking for other causes The crux of Modern Holistic Therapies (MHT) philosophy is rooted in the idea that modern-day Traditional Medicine’s approach comes with certain concerns – namely focusing on treatments/treating one particular symptom while ignoring or not fully considering another related factor(s). Prior to the 1970s, this wasn’t present as such; instead, MHT tried taking an entire environment perspective when determining treatment options by trying their best to address root cause issues within patients. Holistic therapies include:Acupuncture, Aromatherapy, and Essential Oils, Ayurvedic medicine, Bowen technique, Homeopathy, Hypnotherapy, Massage, Meditation, Mindfulness, Reflexology, Reiki, Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Western herbal medicine, Yoga |
The Hippocratic Oath |
I swear by Apollo the physician, and Asclepius, and Hygieia and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses as my witnesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this contract: To hold him who taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents, to be a partner in life with him, and to fulfill his needs when required; to look upon his offspring as equals to my own siblings, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or contract; and that by the set rules, lectures, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to students bound by this contract and having sworn this Oath to the law of medicine, but to no others. I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them. I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion. In purity and according to divine law will I carry out my life and my art. I will not use the knife, even upon those suffering from stones, but I will leave this to those who are trained in this craft. Into whatever homes I go, I will enter them for the benefit of the sick, avoiding any voluntary act of impropriety or corruption, including the seduction of women or men, whether they are free men or slaves. Whatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients, whether in connection with my professional practice or not, which ought not to be spoken of outside, I will keep secret, as considering all such things to be private. So long as I maintain this Oath faithfully and without corruption, may it be granted to me to partake of life fully and the practice of my art, gaining the respect of all men for all time. However, should I transgress this Oath and violate it, may the opposite be my fate. |
