Mind/Body Medicine
Holistic Health and Healing
Mind/Body Medicine is a recognized field of medicine founded upon scientific research and clinical experiments conducted worldwide since the 1950's. It is a holistic model that addresses the influence of thoughts, feelings and beliefs; lifestyle habits and behaviors; diet; relationships and social support; environment; and the role of stress on health and healing.
This awareness that mind and body interact has important implications for the way we view illness and treat disease. One basic tenet of the mind/body model is that it is most effective to treat the whole person-mind, body and spirit. Another tenet is that when people participate in becoming responsible for their own health, as partners with their health care providers, more positive therapeutic outcomes result.
Research (conducted at The Mind/Body Medical Institute of Harvard Medical School as well as other institutions worldwide) continues to mount that Mind/Body Medicine can reduce the severity and frequency of medical symptoms, improve quality of life, strengthen the body's resistance to disease and, in some cases, reverse the course of disease. Mind/Body Medicine is meant to complement, not replace, medical care.
