Holistic Healing,
Holistic Health is a concept consisting of balancing the balance
between mind, body and soul, between different dimensions of
individual body function and need, between individual-community and
the environment and finally
the individual and the universe. Its emphasis lies in striking a
balance between the inner and outer worlds. Disease is understood in
this system as arising out of an imbalance in one or more of the
above mentioned areas and the treatment addresses not only the
ailment but attempts to restore a state of balance in the individual
with regard to his internal and external environment. In the Atharva
Veda there is a four-fold classification of Vedic Therapy based on
four kinds of remedies:
- Juices of
plants and herbs
- Mantra Therapy
- Divine drugs
in the form of prayer and mental yoga
- The drug of
human invention
Yoga, Ayurveda &
Meditation are the three pillars of holistic health.
