Here is an example of how a medical doctor and a holistic health practitioner may approach a common health concern, acne;
As we all know, when teenagers go through puberty, it is common for them to struggle with facial blemishes. It is common for a medical doctor to prescribe a medication in the form of a topical treatment, thus treating the symptom. A holistic health practitioner may also suggest a topical remedy but only after looking at the underlying issues, thus addressing the cause. The cause of acne is hormonal imbalance. Pubescent teens have incredible hormone production causing the body to become imbalanced. Introducing foods and herbs to the diet that promote a more alkaline state and balance hormones can help prevent acne.
It is not the goal of holistic health practitioner to be in conflict with medical doctors, quite the contrary. The goal is to create a symbiotic relationship where the individual, the holistic health practitioner and doctor work together to help your body have the proper components it needs achieve wellness.
