There is no one concept that fits all! The requirements and resources are too different. That's why individual concepts are needed.
Good medicine takes into account the current state of science as well as centuries-old empirical knowledge. Its implementation can be as varied as the people it affects. That is why we speak of medical art.
Conventional ‘conventional medicine’ and complementary / integrative medicine are not contradictory!
Complementary and integrative medicine include subject areas for which there is a solid theoretical and empirical background, but which are not sufficiently covered in the university sector. These include a number of methods that - when used critically - can usefully expand and complement our range of diagnosis and treatment.
This is what I understand by holistic medicine.
The gut has an enormous impact on all organ systems and our physical and mental health and vitality.
Dr Franz Xaver Mayr's subtle diagnosis allows us to implement nutritional findings in a truly individualised and rational way. The quickest and most effective way is often to start with a period of rest. The spectrum ranges from fasting to an easily digestible diet - this is not about dogma!
The recovery of the digestive tract is quite simply the prerequisite for good nutrition with the highest possible quality food and a wide range of choices.
A holistic approach also takes into account biochemical, structural and genetic influences. Innovative diagnostics help to recognise disruptive factors at an early stage and to make optimum use of the individual resources available for self-regulation through targeted, science-based support. Well-functioning metabolic processes are reflected in more vital energy.
For a long time, only performance was valued, which led to an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system due to a pronounced dominance of the sympathetic nervous system. The constantly activated ‘fight or flight’ readiness does not allow any balancing and healing activity of the vagus nerve in the parasympathetic nervous system.
The importance of sufficient regeneration phases for our health has now been proven beyond doubt. This allows the body to regain its balance, which enables the organism to regulate itself properly and prevents the need for rehabilitation due to manifest illnesses.
Chronobiology teaches us to follow a daily and annual rhythm that was already taught in folk medicine. As F.X. Mayr recognised the signs of health, the salutogenic approach is concerned with strengthening measures to maintain health. This is brought together in an effective preventive concept, which enables a better quality of life and self-determination.
Biological age is influenced by numerous factors and various stressors. There are good ways to stop or even reverse the premature ageing process. Here, too, it is a matter of many details in the concept and the right measure in the therapy. Then amazing effects will become visible after a short time.
Conscious perception is a central element in the way we eat, the way we live and the way we see our environment. Looking at everyday things from a different perspective enables us to break through routines and make our lifestyle more fulfilling in the long term. This also means discovering new freedoms and decision-making options for yourself!
We are confronted with an almost unmanageable range of wellness offers. The aim is always to convey well-being. Wellbeing should certainly be a central concern. However, in order to be truly effective, a good diagnosis by a competent medical professional is required.
It is also crucial for medical wellness and every medi-spa to create a holistic and highly individualised treatment concept - and then implement it. Ideally, this can take the form of a cure in which all energy can be focussed on this goal.
