What is alternative healthcare?

The past 30 years has seen an extraordinary increase in consumer demand for safe, effective, and cost-conscious natural healthcare. Alternative medicine, or holistic medicine, has emerged as one of the best forms of healthcare to meet this demand. Although it almost disappeared in the mid-twentieth century because of the popularity of drugs and surgery, alternative medicine has, once again, become a vital part of health care systems throughout the world by offering safe, effective, and natural therapies that often help the body heal when surgery or drugs have failed to do so.

What is a holistic health practitioner?

Holistic Health Practitioners differ from conventional health professionals in that, instead of managing symptoms, they take a holistic approach to their clients’ health, and strive to identify and treat the root cause(s) of illness, looking at all aspects of an individual’s life, including genetic ancestry, lifestyle, emotional states, beliefs, and environment. This is a powerful, synergistic methodology that results in a comprehensive profile of a client and gently fosters the integrated health of the body, mind, and spirit leading to long-term vitality and wellness.

What can a holistic health practitioner do for me?

As our Holistic Health Practitioners are knowledgeable in various aspects of alternative healthcare, they are able to offer clients a wide array of natural treatment options.  Being excellent resources in various holistic healing modalities, our practitioners are able to recommend to clients appropriate holistic approaches to wellness.  A holistic approach is one that tries to fully understand various healing methods, so as to apply the correct methods when appropriate in a simple and practical manor.

Should I stop seeing my regular doctor?

Although there are shortcomings in our conventional medical system, Northland Holistic Heath doesn’t underestimate or take for granted the tremendous skills, training, and value a medical doctor can contribute to a person's healthcare.  The western orthodox medical system is usually the best source for getting a fast and accurate diagnosis, especially since alternative health practitioners are not allowed to diagnose in the U.S. and don’t have access to the necessary equipment or laboratories.  As, well, there are times when conventional medicine is imperative, especially in life-threatening situations.  Before engaging an alternative health practitioner, it is important to get a proper diagnosis from a licensed medical doctor, especially if the condition is serious.  Fortunately, many medical doctors are becoming more open to working with alternative health practitioners which can make for a winning combination for everyone involved.  Such practice is considered “integrative medicine” and can result in dramatic results for the client.
