"Holistic Health" is not a separate and distinct therapy, but is a general term that encompasses all of the natural care therapies that Okanagan Natural Care Centre provides, that you'll find categorized on our Services page.

Holistic Health is a system of medicine that supports the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person. It views health as a state of wholeness, balance and vitality, not as the absence of symptoms and disease. The holistic approach works hand-in-hand with conventional allopathic medicine as a complement to treatments recommended by a medical doctor.

There are many holistic therapies both old and new such as herbal medicine, bodywork, energy healing, nutrition, homeopathy, naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, Ayurveda, yoga, kinesiology, and so on. Among all of these modalities, the promotion of wellness and the prevention of disease are a priority. A holistic health practitioner recognizes the uniqueness of every individual and tailors each treatment to meet a person's needs.

Holistic health clients are encouraged to educate themselves as to their condition, and to set in motion their own body’s ability to heal itself.
