There is increasing recognition that no one branch or discipline of the health care is complete to provide the cure for human beings.

Holistic health care is thus address at the whole person—his body, mind, emotions, and environment—rather than at an isolated function or organ and which promotes the use of a wide range of health practices and therapies.

Western medicine or allopathy has good scientific basis and is trusted by almost all for acute emergencies, however there is limitation for cure of chronic conditions like asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, fibromyalgia  etc and most medicines are given to control or suppress symptoms. Many other disciplines of medicine or health care commonly called complementary or alternative medicine may offer better holistic management.  have

Although no one says to completely ignore Western medical practices, there is suggestion for openness and embracing others that can help and complement. At times ther are other modes which are helpful or people believe they are helpful, the person or patients should thus have a choice and we believe there is a role of western medicine, Ayurveda, homeopathy, osteopathy, naturopathy, dietary supplements, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, reflexology etc.
