Health & Wellbeing
Health is, or should be, the most natural state of being. The origins of the word are linked with those of wholeness and healing, and it is that complete sense of harmony, of being whole, that brings true health. This is the ultimate aim of natural healing, and those that adopt a holistic view.
In the last 10 years or so, there has been a great revival of interest in natural therapies, both as recognition of their tremendous value, but also as a move away from some of the side-effects and impersonal approaches of today's orthodox medicine.
One of the main principles of natural medicine is the holistic approach, taking into account the physical, mental, emotional and indeed spiritual well-being of the person when assessing health; this is most obviously apparent when looking at nervous disorders. Physical symptoms, such as headaches or insomnia, and emotional ones, such as depression, mental strains and stresses, can all weave together to create disease, or simply lack of harmony.
