Description
Summary:What happened to the ancient art of healing when the modern science of medicine came into being? Recent alternatives of treating the body to keep it well are intrinsically linked to the social and religious development of our society. Holistic medicine may involve the rediscovery of many old ways that have been lost or forgotten. This article attempts to introduce healing as an aspect of all health care and particularly of the holistic model of health care. This model certainly includes biomedicine, but its parameters may be very much greater.
