10 Principles of Holistic Health

      From the American Holistic Medical Association:
    1. 1. Optimal Health is the primary goal of holistic medical
      practice. It is the conscious pursuit of the highest level of functioning
      and balance of the physical, environmental, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of human experience, resulting in a dynamic state of being fully alive. This creates a condition of well-being regardless of the presence or absence of disease.
       

    2. The Healing Power of Love. Holistic health care
      practitioners strive to meet the patient with grace, kindness, acceptance, and
      spirit without condition, as love is life’s most powerful
      healer.
       

    3. Whole Person. Holistic health care practitioners view
      people as the unity of body, mind, spirit and the systems in which they
      live.
       

    4. Prevention and Treatment. Holistic health care
      practitioners promote health, prevent illness and help raise awareness of
      dis-ease in our lives rather than merely managing symptoms. A holistic approach
      relieves symptoms, modifies contributing factors, and enhances the patient’s
      life system to optimize future well-being.
       

    5. Innate Healing Power. All people have innate powers of
      healing in their bodies, minds and spirits. Holistic health care practitioners
      evoke and help patients utilize these powers to affect the healing
      process.
       

    6. Integration of Healing Systems. Holistic health care
      practitioners embrace a lifetime of learning about all safe and effective
      options in diagnosis and treatment. These options come from a variety of
      traditions, and are selected in order to best meet the unique needs of the
      patient. The realm of choices may include lifestyle modification and
      complementary approaches as well as conventional drugs and
      surgery.
       

    7. Relationship-centered Care. The ideal practitioner-patient
      relationship is a partnership which encourages patient autonomy, and values the
      needs and insights of both parties. The quality of this relationship is an
      essential contributor to the healing process.
       

    8. Individuality. Holistic health care practitioners focus
      patient care on the unique needs and nature of the person who has an illness
      rather than the illness that has the person. 
       

    9. Teaching by Example. Holistic health care practitioners
      continually work toward the personal incorporation of the principles of holistic
      health, which then profoundly influence the quality of the healing
      relationship.
        

    10. Learning Opportunities. All life experiences including
      birth, joy, suffering and the dying process are profound learning opportunities
      for both patients and health care practitioners.
