Benefits of Holistic Treatments

In the quest for optimal health and wellness, more people are embracing Holistic Therapy, or complimentary alternative medicine, that works alongside conventional medicine to heal the whole person, in body, mind, spirit and emotions.  The focus of holistic healing is to encourage the person to strive for wholeness and healthy living with the goal being to gain proper balance in all aspects of life. Here are some benefits of holistic therapy.

Understanding the need for a well-balanced lifestyle- Holistic treatments emphasize whole body care. Practitioners address not only the physical body but the person’s emotional and spiritual health as well.

Improving Overall General Health- The holistic treatment approach focuses on healthy eating habits and therapeutic practices. Stress relieving and self-relaxing exercises like yoga are also believed to be effective in improving your overall health. At The Cedars, our therapy is focused on “The Whole Self” while also working with traditional western medicine.

Focus on Therapy- The Cedars has a full-time Holistic Therapy Practitioner who uses a variety of alternative therapies to help strengthen the overall physical and wellbeing of both short-stay patients and long-stay residents. The Holistic Therapist at The Cedars works with each person’s individual needs to achieve positive outcomes for reduction of pain and anxiety. Some of these therapies she employs include Reiki, breathing exercises, meditation, aromatherapy, and touch therapy.
