\"The field of holistic therapies is growing rapidly. Holistic therapy practices in the West took off in the 1960s in response to conventional medicine's preoccupation with drug treatments and its failure to see patients as people but rather as body parts to be examined and studied. In addition, medicine's tendency to treat symptoms alone, rather than finding and treating the root cause or tackling a multi-factorial confluence, also contributed to the resurgence and exponential development of holistic therapies.\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The expression <\/span>holistic<\/b> is derived from the Greek \"holos\" meaning \"whole\". The word therapy is derived from the word \"therapeia\", which means \"to cure\", \"to take care of\", \"to treat\".<\/span><\/span><\/p>

In literal and etymological terms, holistic therapy is a practice that aims to treat the whole person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Rather than simply treating an immediate symptom, a holistic therapist will look for the underlying cause by examining current physical, mental, emotional, and even social and spiritual states of health and well-being. He or she will then work to restore the body's natural balance, for a more sustainable and rewarding quality of life.<\/span><\/p>

Although it has been used effectively for centuries, the scientific community now recognises the importance of holistic therapy in maintaining good health and general well-being.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Holistic therapy is based on energetic (Chinese medicine, lithotherapy, etc.), magnetic (magnets, geobiology, etc.), mental (analytical or otherwise), environmental (ecology and health), socio-cultural (impact of the media, education, art, etc.) and transpersonal (or spiritual) approaches. Holistic therapy is a non-conventional form of medicine based on the principles of holism (looking at the whole person) and methods based on the \"wholeness of the human being\".\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The holistic approach is based on the belief that the whole person is made up of interdependent parts and that if one part is not functioning well, all the other parts will be affected. These principles include:<\/span><\/p>
