The wise little green guy in Star Wars said it best, “pass on what you have learned”. Our Medical Center & Spa for alternative medicine in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is firmly grounded in this principle of education in the ways of nature as a means of self-healing.

As the hype for the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie rises, we thought it would be cool to feature some truths about alternative medicine in Mexico that we learn from the Star Wars saga. Sounds interesting? Keep on reading!

There is an ancient truth mastered by oriental cultures that converges on the roots of our physical make up: nature as our means of existence. In the sci-fi movie, Master Yoda represents that truth iconically.

The practice of medicine had it’s roots nested in this belief of “nature as thy medicine”. In fact, the very word “doctor” comes from Latin doctor ‘teacher’ (from docere ‘teach’). So the entire practice of medicine itself was created to teach people how to heal themselves.

That is what Holistic Bio Spa was born for: for helping others to return to the building blocks of their health and well-being — nature.

In this article and the next, we lay down some basic principles of

• what holistic health truly means and
• how it can benefit every day of your life.

First, What is Holistic Medicine?

In its truest sense, holistic medicine is a practice philosophy of medicine that focuses on healing the whole person, more than merely the sum of its body parts.

Its main practices are commonly developed in 3 phases:

1. The first focuses on identifying the root cause of your ailment (from headaches and the common cold to cancer and chronic fatigue).
2. The second purges your body of toxins and pathogens causing imbalances and sickness.
3. The third places greater emphasis on “building the new” now that the old is gone – by inculcating and personalizing good healthy habits to maintain this state of well-being.

Sounds amazingly simple? It is!

Is it new? No.

Dozens of famous (and sensible) celebrities in the Europe and the United States are opting for holistic and alternative medicine therapies and practices to cure the “incurable”. Other such dabblings in natural medicine include curing diseases such as cancer, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, panic attacks, and organ failure.
