Say, if you believe your stressful day at work is reason for your headache then aren’t you practically linking your state of mind – being stressed out – to the state of your body – your aching head? In simple words, this is holistic health.
Deep down, if we allow ourselves to think about it, we all believe in holistic health. It’s just that acknowledging this would mean having to do something about it. Practically, this would translate to giving ourselves and/or our lifestyles some attention and frankly, given our hectic schedules, that is like asking for too much.
We believe our bodies must cope so instead of getting to the root of the problem, we switch off our minds and pop a pill to spell our headache away.
