Holistic wellness considers the whole person—mind, body, spirit, and lifestyle. Rather than diagnosing and treating specific medical conditions, holistic practitioners support overall well-being through complementary practices like acupuncture, herbalism, coaching, and mindfulness.
Key Differences
- Focus: Traditional medicine diagnoses and treats disease. Holistic wellness supports overall vitality and balance
- Credentials: Medical doctors are licensed by government agencies. Wellness practitioners hold certifications in their specific modalities
- Approach: Medical care treats conditions. Holistic wellness supports clients in making wellness choices aligned with their goals
These approaches are complementary, not mutually exclusive. Many people benefit from both medical care and wellness practices working together. Always inform both your doctors and wellness practitioners about treatments you're receiving.
