The Evolution of Our Modern Holistic Philosophies

Many people think of the holistic term as some new age trend, or a marketing gimmick and I can understand that, because the word holistic has been attached to many different things over the years. Some people who provide natural products call themselves holistic. Some massage therapist call themselves holistic, and even though they may affect your body, making you feel at peace and affecting your mind, that is still a little short of holistic.

If you research the holistic concept you will find that in fact the holistic philosophy originates all the way back to the Greek culture, all the way back to the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates himself. He, in fact used the four humors to express his holistic ideals, but the birth of a holistic philosophy was clearly there. He didn’t coin the phrase he only knew that the holistic concept was the answer to solving health issues.

The term holistic was actually coined by a doctor in South Africa somewhere back in the seventies, and was never meant to have a religious aspect, although many religious groups have utilized the holistic term to somehow imply a religious context. It is true there is a spiritual component to most religious holistic practices they too fall short of a full holistic experience. Unfortunately when the holistic idea was revived and identified as holistic, a true holistic modality did not exist here in North America. Which left it open to misinterpretation.
