What is the difference between traditional medicine and holistic practices?
In medicine, there are two primary views of health and wellness. The allopathic theory is that disease and health problems are caused by germs or injury and can be treated entirely with measures such as antibiotics, antiseptics, other medicines, and surgery. This view has been the dominant theory in the last century. The Holistic theory points out that humans are not separate from their environment and that disease and wellness derive from the total life condition of the individual.
