What is Holistic Health?

One way to look at holistic health is to view it as an integrated approach to health and well-being. Below are some basic holistic health principles that show this integration.

• Optimal health is a primary goal.
• The body, mind, and spirit are intertwined.
• Health is more than an absence of illness.
• Holistic health is a state of balance.
• Individuals have an innate power of healing within their bodies, minds, and spirits.

Wrinkles, skin rashes, bags under the eyes, digestive issues, cancer, and immune function can all be treated and/or controlled with holistic practices and remedies.

Holistic Health Practices

We live in a fast-paced world with many pollutants and chemically altered foods. Knowledge of the body, mind, and spirit has increased. Today there are many holistic health practices, all focusing on the whole body. Some of these practices include:

• holistic medicine
• holistic dentistry
• holistic chiropractic medicine

Each of these practices considers how treatment will help and affect the whole body: physically, mentally, and spiritually. There are also ways to practice holistic health in the home and in everyday life situations.

Practice Holistic Health at Home

Holistic health is not limited to the practices mentioned above. There are many ways to cultivate a balance of body, mind, and spirit each day, such as:

Try natural remedies for ailments. There are natural products that can help with ailments such as skin rashes, wrinkles, bags under the eyes, flaky skin, age spots, acne scars, and other skin conditions. Some of these include essential oils, retinol, vitamin C, vitamin E, Aloe Vera, Edelweiss flower, and coconut oil. The Geneva Naturals collections offers holistic skin care with topical products that contain many of these natural ingredients.

Participate in yoga. Yoga is used for stress management. It can help with depression and anxiety. Yoga also helps relieve tension in the body and improves muscle coordination.

Exercise regularly. Regular exercise increases circulation, improves muscle memory, releases endorphins, and improves immune function. The mind, body, and spirit connection improves with regular exercise.

Spend time outdoors. Studies show that people who spend time outdoors are happier and have more consistent immune function.
