Benefits of Holistic Health

Updated: Jan 11, 2021

Holistic Health provides many benefits to your daily life.



As long as we keep in mind that maintaining the harmony in our body, mind, and soul as a whole, we can benefit from holistic health practices.


There are many benefits to integrating holistic health practices into your daily life:

  • Treating the common cold

  • Decreasing inflammation in the body

  • Alleviating daily stress

  • Adding in supplements, foods, or daily practices that are helpful additions to accelerate feeling your best

For example, zinc and elderberry, two natural remedies, have been shown to shorten the duration of the common cold. Turmeric, a well-known root, has been shown to lower systemic inflammation and symptoms in patients with arthritis. Acupuncture has been shown to be an effective treatment for chronic pain. Aromatherapy has been shown to support healthy sleep and reduce levels of anxiety of cardio stent insertion patients in an ICU.

There are a wide variety of holistic health treatments and protocols from many traditions around the world. Finding a modality that works for you and that works with any other medical treatment or medication you are taking is surely worth looking into.

Many folks choose to add in holistic living practices along with more conventional treatments—this is known as complementary or integrative medicine. In many cases, some of the more ancient holistic health practices have even been incorporated into standard medical care.

Some holistic health modalities require a trained practitioner, while others can be self-taught mind-body practices to explore on your own—such as meditation or yoga. Here are a few holistic healthcare modalities for you to explore.
