Is defined as an approach to wellness that simultaneously addresses the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual components of health.
When we combine traditional or conventional medicine with holistic medicine, we create an “integrative” approach, using the best results from both medicines.
Holistic medicine utilizes natural treatments such as herbal remedies, acupuncture, homeopathy, and food therapy.
✅ Herbs are selected for their healing properties.
✅ Acupuncture stimulates the body’s energy flow.
✅ Homeopathy addresses imbalances on a subtle level.
✅ Food therapy tailors nutrition to support specific health needs.
These natural modalities work together to enhance the body’s innate healing abilities.

What is ONE HEALTH
It’s an integrated, unifying approach to balance and optimize the health of people, animals and the environment.
It involves the public health, veterinary, public health and environmental sectors.
The One Health approach is particularly relevant for food and water safety, nutrition, the control of zoonoses as well as pollution management, and combatting antimicrobial resistance (the emergence of microbes that are resistant to antibiotic therapy).

TRADITIONAL VS. ALTERNATIVE VETERINARY MEDICINE
As veterinarians, we are responsible for the wellbeing of animals by providing health care that prevents, reduces and even eliminates disease.
By doing so, we also provide a safe environment for humans that are in close contact with animals reducing the risk of zoonotic diseases.
Traditional veterinary medicine, the same as human medicine, has been overusing drugs to “hide” symptoms for a disease without really curing it but rather leaving it dormant as well as using poor quality overly processed foods that are seriously affecting the health of our pets and farmed animals worldwide.
Alternative veterinary medicine provides a different approach, using the bodies natural ability to heal itself reducing or even eliminating traditional drugs to reduce negative health effects such as antibiotic resistance using instead more natural healing treatments such as herbs, supplements and proper nutrition using a species appropriate diet.
✅ By reducing the use of drugs such as antibiotics we reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.
✅ By using more natural and environmentally friendly treatments we reduce unwanted chemical waste and pollution.
✅ By using natural unprocessed foods we provide food safety and reduce the negative health effects on our pets.

Veterinary Chinese herbal medicine:
Herbs are prescribed to restore inner energy (known as “Qi”) balance to the opposing forces of energy – Yin (cold) and Yang (warm) that run through invisible channels (meridians) in the body.

Veterinary Chinese food therapy:
Based on that food is the foundation of health. It combines fruits, vegetables, meat, herbs, and spices that specific characteristics and energetics that work on the body to restore balance.
