Holistic medicine is part of a worldview which promises to achieve societal change through respect for the individual and for the contribution of diversity to an integrative model of healing. Healing must take place on all levels - individual, social, cultural and planetary - for the survival, as well as the happiness, of life on earth.

Holistic medicine recognizes the person who has the illness as more important than the type of illness that person is manifesting. Treatment methods which are least likely to do harm are used first in holistic medicine. These are often also more cost-effective than conventional drugs or surgery.

In practice, this means that each person is seen as a unique individual, rather than an example of a particular disease. Disease is understood to be the result of physical, emotional, spiritual, social and environmental imbalance. Healing, therefore, takes place naturally when these aspects of life are brought into proper balance. The role of the practitioner is as guide, mentor and role model; the patient must do the work - changing lifestyle, beliefs and old habits in order to facilitate healing.

Spirit of Change Magazine features a holistic directory of health practitioners in the New England area.
