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.

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. An example of the need for natural supplements is the treatment of kidney or gallstones and Arthritis, where balancing minerals in the body is essential.

Another important example is natural therapy for hormonal imbalances, which can lead to significant 'autoimmune' conditions, as I explain here, infertility, skin issues, organ problems, brain and neurological diseases, developmental, psychological, and psychosomatic problems, etc.

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, 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.

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.

The Holistic Therapist must have comprehensive knowledge of the human body and corresponding training in order to successfully address health problems.

And with that, we move on to the major problem of Western Medicine, which is over-specialization!!

Starting from the fact that Western doctors are not taught Nutrition (let alone Therapeutic Nutrition), nor do they conduct RESEARCH on it… we end up with issues like:

-You have cholesterol, so cut out fats and eggs (but not the toxins...!! Sign up, I’ll soon be posting a related study).

-You have Arthritis and Kidney Stones, so take anti-inflammatories, painkillers, and cortisone, instead of balancing the minerals in your body and implementing an Anti-Inflammatory Diet.

-You have Allergies and Asthma, so take suppressants and antihistamines, instead of identifying the cause that your immune system is reacting to!!

-You have Crohn’s… we’ll put you on immunosuppressants, you won’t heal, and you’ll get sick from the slightest virus or bacteria… but we won’t investigate what caused the problem in your gut. Because if you know and avoid it... we won’t have an income…

-You feel anxiety and depression because you’re dealing with daily life problems… we’ll put you on antidepressants… and into permanent dependency, along with their side effects and lasting damage…!

And so, we have come to a point where psychiatrists are prescribing antidepressants to 12-year-olds… because their parents do not provide them with a safe and communicative environment, as they do not want to engage with their children's mental state and emotions, investing in deep relationships...!! The antidepressants, however, suit the parents just fine...

These are usually people with Narcissistic Personality Disorders, who exhibit such behaviours in all their relationships. *I will analyse this in an article soon.

I went on a bit about Psychology because it is of great importance to me... especially in these extreme times we are living through!!!

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!

Unfortunately, I see in some groups of random individuals on social media, questions like "anything for the prostate?", "what should I take for stones?" And then, all the self-proclaimed experts respond with herbs they've heard of, or even medications that worked for their aunt...!!

These people fail to realize, first of all, that since every organism has its own particularities and needs, NOT EVERYTHING WORKS FOR EVERYONE!!! And secondly, if the patient continues the habits that caused the illness, no herb will magically make it disappear!

I won't even comment on the medications they recommend...!!

I'm willing to bet that very few know that even the little painkiller they suggest can harm the liver, a vital organ critical to health, immunity, and hormonal balance...

I believe you get the point, and that a detailed and accurate diagnosis is always necessary

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.

Creative activities also benefit children ❤️ something that I enjoy very much!

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! Thus, I incorporated Music Therapy and Art Therapy into my studies.

At some point, we will start seminars and classes aimed at Therapeutic and Creative Skills Teaching. I also need to find myself again after what we musicians experienced with the super-clever c0vid measures...

Holistic Therapy and C0vid Vaccines

I had no intention of addressing this issue, but for quite some time now, people have been reaching out to me asking for detoxification from the ingredients of the "specific" vaccines, following serious and permanent side effects...

Unfortunately, dear friends, once something enters the cytoplasm of the cell, it cannot be eliminated... neither with some magical herb (as one lady wrote to me, seeking a second opinion from a second herbalist), nor with strict detoxification... NO ONE knows the exact composition of these products and what they contain, except for the manufacturers and their investors...

Here

There are some doctors of unrelated specialties who claim to know which products detoxify from the "specific" vaccines...

So, let me clearly say that they are charlatans. And they should have a bit of conscience, instead of giving false hope to people just to generate income...

Ask them exactly what element will be expelled from the cell, how precisely, and request the studies that have been conducted to prove their claims!! There weren’t even studies done on their circulation… studies were only conducted on the side effects that the manufacturers still deny?

There are only treatments against the inflammation caused by the "specific" vaccines, which is the symptom we mentioned. Not the root cause... And because the cell divides and multiplies, its new characteristics multiply as well...

That's it with the "specific" vaccines. Unfortunately, we therapists and doctors do not have that capability. And be cautious, because since 2021, procedures have started to make all vaccines MRNA-based, especially for the flu.

 I won’t tell you what to do about it... I’ll just tell you that my statistics show that those who get the flu vaccine fall seriously ill every year, and as soon as they stop, they return to their normal health levels. Strengthening the immune system and protecting yourself from blood clots through natural means is more important and safer...! In that, I can absolutely help.

So. 

Beyond the knowledge a Therapist must have, continuous and extensive research on health-related issues is essential. Firstly, because studies are constantly being enriched, and secondly, because unfortunately, the industry that profits from our illness constantly spreads misinformation!! A great deal of experience is required so that the Therapist does not fall into deception and can deliver results.

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, such as tinctures, creams, supplements, compresses, extracts, oils, etc., we can address countless health issues.

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