What is a holistic doctor?
Holistic doctors are educated and trained in traditional medicine and are required to hold a medical degree. They are capable of addressing all standard medical needs just as a traditional medical doctor will do, however, they adhere to holistic principles that use a variety of alternative methods to promote physical, emotional and spiritual health, which will encourage a better quality of life.
A good holistic doctor will be well rounded and knowledgeable in many different modalities as well as experienced with a variety of different illnesses, diseases and conditions. They should be able to address biochemical and metabolic disorders, food allergies, chemical sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies, vitamin and mineral supplementation, diet plans, lifestyle changes, environmental medicine, and the spiritual aspects of healing.
