What is holistic medicine?

Holistic medicine is a branch of health care that focuses on natural, non-surgical, and non-pharmaceutical treatments. Its main objective is to offer an alternative to other forms of medicine that emphasize pharmaceutical medications.

At Ahearn & Associates Medical Center, the holistic medicine team takes your whole person into account rather than just one organ, system, or disease. They consider multiple factors affecting your health, including your mind, body, and spirit, as well as your environment.

The team keeps these factors in mind while creating your holistic treatment plan, which won’t include medications or surgery. Instead, they prioritize natural remedies and safe supplements to restore balance to your health and wellness. 

What are the benefits of holistic medicine?

People who take part in holistic treatments are quick to note their advantages over conventional or pharmacological medicine. If you’re uncertain about whether to use holistic medicine in your case, the team at Ahearn & Associates Medical Center might encourage you to consider these benefits:

• No chemicals
• Cost-effectiveness
• Disease prevention
• Focus on you, the person

Holistic medicine doesn’t just aim to mask or reduce your symptom; the goal is to improve your overall wellbeing by addressing the many factors causing your disease or symptoms. The Ahearn & Associates Medical Center team customizes every treatment plan to fit the needs of the individual.
