The WHOLE in Holistic

The word "Holistic" is on just about everything now a days. Kind of like the word "Organic." What that means to the manufacturers and the consumers should be the same but is something entirely different. Like what is organic dog food? The dog eats out of the toilet and licks his butt. The packaging clearly states ORGANIC yet the ingredients say PORTIONS of beef, pork and chicken.

Holistic means, and I quote.... "incorporating the concept of holism in theory or practice." For a product or service to be truly considered holistic, it should first address the mind. Can it assist the mind in healing or reaching new heights or does it help emotionally and mentally? Next it should address the body. Is it beneficial to the body? And last but not least... how does it effect the Spirit?

I have been in the holistic health and wellness field for almost sixteen years and have yet to see many people and products actually use this concept. As a holistic health practitioner, I provide services that address the needs of a person mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

What is organic? When purchasing anything that claims to be organic, the product must have characteristics of or pertain to living organisms. My products are truly organic in nature. As a master herbalist, I use fresh plants and herbs, micas not dyes and make them in small batches to ensure freshness. Just because a product says its made with Lavender... does not mean that the lavender came from the actual plant. Know where your products came from and how it was made to ensure that you are not being fooled by the terms being thrown around.
