Holistic Therapy

What is Holistic Therapy, the Herbs, Common Misconceptions, Examples of Success.

Let's start from the premise that Holistic Therapy is the science that treats a person and their health as a whole, taking into account every aspect of their existence. The term 'Holistic' comes from the Greek word 'ΟΛΟΝ-Όλον', which means 'Whole'.

As Holistic Therapists, we are therefore obliged to examine the physical, emotional, nutritional, and psychological state of our clients, in order to understand them completely and provide the appropriate treatment for the condition they are facing. Additionally, we investigate in detail and identify every factor that causes and/or affects their condition, focusing on correcting it. Our approach is not limited to alleviating symptoms with painkillers, antibiotics, or other methods that cause side effects and do not solve the problem, as is unfortunately observed with Western Medicine. We do not settle for the terms 'autoimmune' and 'chronic' to let a problem become long-term, as we see in the majority of disease cases.

For example, when someone seeks our help for skin issues like acne, eczema, or dermatitis, we will naturally provide products to relieve the symptoms, such as creams and oils, but at the same time, we investigate the cause(s) that are triggering the skin condition.

We study in great detail the individual's health status, their medical history and tests, dietary habits, the details of their daily life, and their thoughts and feelings regarding the changes they may need to make for holistic healing. We learn how willing they are to embark on a journey towards overall health improvement, which will also involve the elimination of certain harmful habits from their life.

This way, we can plan a highly personalized and safe treatment, which is applied gradually to avoid shocking the individual's system, making it easier for them to adapt to the gradual changes, and preventing dropout results. This is something often observed in conventional methods, especially with exhausting diets that focus on counting calories and quantities, without psychological guidance and support.

This is also the reason why, after a 'fad' diet or a diet applied by a nutritionist based on general criteria, as you know, the individual often returns to previous habits—and, unfortunately, to an even greater extent!

It is important to recognize how each aspect of ourselves affects the others.

For example:

  • Our psychological state affects our hormonal balance, breathing and oxygenation, daily decisions, our dietary choices, exercise, work, and even the way we communicate.

  • Our diet significantly influences our psychological and emotional state, hormonal balance, vital organs, skin, brain, nervous system, gastrointestinal system, cardiovascular system, physical shape, strength, and energy, as well as the proper and healthy development of infants and children.

  • Our physical condition impacts our psychological and emotional state. Everything is interconnected!

*This is why I have focused my studies in these areas to be effective.

How Treatment is Conducted

The treatment process begins with taking a Medical History and Health Status through the detailed and user-friendly form I have created for the convenience of my clients.

Watch the Presentation

  Along the way, I carefully study the health data and the issues we need to address, and I explain the approaches we have available for the treatment.

Some issues are addressed only through gradual, controlled detoxification, while others require therapeutic Nutrition, and some may need the support of herbs and natural supplements.

We discuss and resolve any potential questions from the clients, agree on the approach we will follow, and begin our safe and effective journey toward healing.

Once we start the treatment based on the program we have agreed upon, we conduct a very close daily monitoring and evaluation (entirely remotely, via form and e-mail), and we adjust the planning for the next week, taking into account the client's tolerances, the progress made, any preferences, weaknesses, or adjustments that may be needed.

This way, we always have knowledge of the situation, control, and the journey is safe, without risks.

In some cases, medical tests may be recommended, if they have not already been conducted, so that we can see into the condition accurately.

 The Herbs in Holistic Therapy

 

It is very important to understand that, while herbs can indeed have therapeutic effects for certain conditions, in most cases they are not enough!! For example, we can truly treat otitis (in adults and children) with the herbal extract drops I have created. However, in cases of arthritis, diabetes, allergies, cholesterol, gastrointestinal and digestive issues, prostate problems, hormonal and reproductive issues, kidney/gallstones, and other such conditions, herbs can only function as an adjunct, while the rest of the treatment focuses on the root cause of the condition and its elimination!

 

Firstly, since every organism has its own particularities and needs, herbs DO NOT work the same for everyone!!! And secondly, if the patient continues the habits that caused the illness, no herb will magically make it disappear!

So, a detailed and accurate diagnosis is always necessary before anything else.

The Arts in Holistic Therapy

  Arts such as Music, Painting, Crafts, Photography, Dance, etc., can be extremely useful and therapeutic in cases like managing anxiety and stress, depression, Attention Deficit Disorder, Amnesia & Dementia, in effective Time Management throughout the day, in Post-Traumatic Stress, in Loss and Grief, in Addictions, and many others.

  The very process of focusing our minds on a creative activity helps us to set aside our everyday problems, the toxicity of social media, allows us to concentrate, enhances creativity and imagination, relaxes the nervous system, and beyond their health benefits, they can even provide us with professional opportunities when we need them most.

 

  Personally, I have been greatly helped psychologically and practically by my professional engagement with Music (for about 30 years), Photography, and Artistic Jewellery, especially during times of great difficulty!

We will soon start seminars and classes aimed at Therapeutic and Creative Skills Teaching.

Holistic Therapy and C0vid V@cc1nes

For quite some time now, people have been contacting me asking for detoxification from those ingredients, after experiencing serious & permanent side effects...

Unfortunately, once something enters the cytoplasm of the cell, it cannot be eliminated... neither with herbs, nor with strict detoxification... Please, don't be deceived by those who want to generate income...

Misinterpretations of Holistic Therapy

I have noticed confusion between Holistic Therapy and Alternative-Complementary Therapies several times, especially in Greece. As I explained earlier, Holistic Therapy examines and addresses every aspect of the organism, from Psychology to Nutrition and Exercise.

Some therapists and treatment centres claim to be "Holistic," while they may only focus on massage, for example, or acupuncture, clinical hypnotherapy, music therapy (in which I also hold a diploma), etc.

These forms of therapy can be extremely useful, but not on their own. This is why they are categorized as Alternative & Complementary Therapies.

So

  Beyond knowledge, a Therapist must conduct continuous and extensive research, because studies are constantly being enriched, and be able to avoid misinformation & being biased!

​And, unfortunately, in Western Medicine the overspecialization does not allow medicals to have a comprehensive knowledge of the patients' health, and fundamentally address a problem safely, such as with Nutrition that they have NOT studied. The result is that they mask the symptoms by prescribing medication with long-term side effects, and the problems are never solved... but are being named "autoimmune"..!! The same applies to the Dieticians & Nutritionists. They're NOT trained to treat diseases etc.

  We are a complete organism made up of blood, skin, organs, bones, brain, soul, and emotions. By carefully examining every aspect of our existence and utilizing the power of natural and herbal therapies, we can address countless health issues.

I am grateful to have this opportunity in life to help people and see them heal ❤
