Holistic Healing is an ancient approach to wellness that focuses on nurturing the mind, body, and soul, addressing the underlying spiritual aspects of one’s being. It recognizes that well-being extends beyond physical health and encompasses emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects.
Ancient thinkers and healers recognized the importance of these perspectives thousands of years ago.
“…the part can never be well unless the whole is well.” – Socrates
Socrates, the Greek philosopher and a founder of western philosophy, recognized the value of thinking holistically. In 400 B.C., Hippocrates, known as the father of modern medicine, emphasized the healing power of nature in his Hippocratic School of Medicine. He was also a proponent of self-healing.
Three of the most notable ancient medical traditions based on holistic healing include: Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western Herbalism or Traditional European Medicine.
Breaking generational patterns; emotional healing and release; transcending limiting beliefs; healing family relationships; enhanced physical and mental well-being; increased emotional balance; stress management and spiritual growth are some specific areas that our ÀSTYZELF’ clients have seen positive changes in.
