“Holistic Medicare is an all inclusive integrated ‘synergy’ of natural, Drug-Free, Harmless, but highly efficient modalities of Western, Indian, Chinese & New-Age systems of Medicine for care of each human being as a whole, body-mind-spirit.”
Holistic Medicine is the wholesome approach to Health where each individual is treated as a whole ‘Body, Mind & Spirit’ by a synergy of the evidence based ‘science’ of modern medicine with the highly complementary and reproducible time honoured ‘art’ of drug-free modalities of all the officially recognised traditional systems of health for Elimination of All Sickness and promote Positive Health and Total Wellness.
Holistic Medicine = Modern + Alternate Medicine (Alternate = Traditional + NewAge)
[Conservative Medicine + Life-Style & Stress Management + Ashtanga Yoga + Acupuncture-Reflexology + Panchakarma- Detoxification + Counseling-Hypnotherapy- PLRT-NLP + Reiki-Pranic Healing-Chakra Balancing + Regenerative Medicine]
This all inclusive and integrative approach to health helps to extend the best of each system of medicine, at the same time overcome inherent deficiencies in the respective systems to offer a ‘synergy’ of all of them to ensure ‘Health For All’ at all ages of life, and all stages of all sickness. This latest speciality of medicine is called Holistic Medicine.
It’s a board certified specialty in the U.S. for nearly two decades, and is catching up very fast amongst the developed nations. Therefore, it’s high time that we adopt it into our health care and make our living years happy and productive.
This approach to health matches up to our Vedic concept that health is the greatest wealth, and we need health whether to achieve personal, financial or spiritual growth, and even moksha. It’s guided by the ancient Charaka Samhita which states that life is the combination of the body, the senses, the mind and the ‘ATMA’; they cannot separated from each other, from this Integration ensues ‘AYUSH’.
Why Holistic Medicine ?
It’s being increasingly recognised world over that it would never be possible to meet all the health expectations of the humanity with the exclusive allopathy based conventional model of healthcare. The World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) recommends and our National Health Policy has promulgated integration of all the recognised systems of medicine.
Therefore, the healthcare services in the country have to grow beyond inherent limitations of the so called evidence based modern technology. An ever increasing number of people wish to explore benefits of time honoured traditional, or so called alternate systems of health which are natural, drug-free, harmless, highly reproducible, having helped the humanity and survived over thousands of years.
The good news is that we, now, have very rich expertise available to complement the best of drug-based specialities of medicine with various non-conflicting drug-free modalities of recognised systems of health to ‘Eliminate all Sickness’ from its root cause and restore Positive Health & Total Wellness ‘Body, Mind & Spirit.’

INHERENT DEFICIENCIES OF ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE
- It’s not easily acceptable, neither easily accessible to majority of people in the country, resulting in delays in commencement of appropriate treatment, leading to serious complications.
- It treats the human being as a mere physical being, with a specialist taking care of just a limited part of the body with ‘allo’, i.e., foreign pharmaceutical or surgical interventions. Best of the support based on this reductionist concept comes with limitations, complications, and cumulative toxicity.
- By the time a disease is detectable by modern diagnostics, it’s invariably too late to reverse its basic cause and effect true cure.
- This system treats just the ‘tip-of-iceberg’ symptoms of the disease, with rarely being able to eliminate its underlying cause.
- In spite of best treatment, this process leads to slow deterioration in health, onset of various side-effects, progressive morbidity and finally expensive mortality.
- It lacks care of mental, emotional and spiritual needs of the people.
- It does not address to the increasing incidence of diseases due to life-style and psychosomatic disorders.
- It does not offer much to the increasing population of the elderly from diseases related to aging.
- It, also, does not have any solutions on the horizon to changing pattern of communicable diseases, especially due to emerging viruses or immune disturbances.
- It’s based on high capital investment and expensive technology, making its cost beyond reach of most people. It’s estimated that nearly 4% of population in our country falls below poverty line annually due to its exorbitant costs.
- According to official statistics, in spite of all the technological advances and availability of world class medical care in our country over the past few decades, the incidence of all common diseases has increased more than FOUR FOLD in last thirty years.
