What do you know about holistic medicine?

Our bodies rely on one another to function properly. If a part of the body isn't working effectively, it may negatively affect other parts. Holistic medicine is a type of healing that focuses on improving overall health by preventing diseases, including emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Holistic medicine is considered an alternative medicine that holistic doctors use to address health problems impacting individuals' wellness. Sometimes they collaborate with healthcare providers to help individuals maintain life balance. Holistic medicine includes massage therapy, Chinese traditional medicine, and more.

If this were the case, would you choose this alternative?

My health is very important to me, and if I see an alternative way to improve it, I would try it. People should be free to choose the alternative healthcare that's best for them. Some individuals may not like alternative medicine due to the lack of scientific evidence supporting their findings. Alternative medicine have been use for hundreds years ago and still exist because it can easily get at our own convenience. Not all alternative medicine are bad, some are very effective to cure the illness an individual may experience.

Have you used any natural remedies or cures?

Yes, I have used natural remedies to cure the symptoms of malaria. In fact, after using the herbs, it promoted my general well-being. Someone recommended dry pawpaw leaves, mango leaves, cashew leaves, and lemongrass to me for the treatment of malaria. So when I feel tired, I just look within my community. Fortunately for me, I see all the leaves and cook them until they are too hot to drink. After waiting for some minutes to reduce the heat, I drink it. Believe me, my body is working properly, and it is restored to a normal level.

Do you trust traditional medicine or holistic medicine more?

I trust both traditional and holistic medicine because they help us fight diseases that keep affecting an individual. Some holistic doctors use medication as well as herbs, which are natural remedies to heal people suffering from various illnesses. In developing countries like Nigeria, we still use traditional medicine because we see it as effective and efficient herbal products that can prevent or treat sicknesses that disturb the entire life of a human. Both are fine since human beings gain a lot of health benefits from using them.
