Holistic Healing covers a whole variety of things. It is a natural approach to health and an alternative way of life. It covers a whole load of things though from herbal remedies called homeopathy(plant extracts),bach flower remedies( plant extracts in liquid form). To complementary therapies like reflexology (foot massage),aromatherapy massage(whole body massage with essential oils extracted from plants, indian head massage, hopi ear candle treatment. You would be best to contact your local college or go to your local bookshop or even look up on google under complementary therapies or holistic therapies if you wish to pursue it as a career! I myself am a holistic therapist and have been for 4 years I work from home and it is a very rewarding career.Please be warned there are some perverts out there that interpret holistics as massage parlours.

Holistic Medicine is the art and science of healing that addresses care of the whole person – body, mind, and spirit.
Generally this means using non-western methods to heal, or combing western, eastern and new age medicine. Some examples of holistic medicine are: nutrition, herbal medicine, spinal manipulation and body work medicine, "energy medicine," spiritual attunement, relaxation training and stress management, biofeedback and acupuncture.
Holistic medicine has a longer history than modern medical practition and though many people are skeptical, it can be a much better form of treatment than the impersonal treatment most hospitals give today becuase it treats the whole person, not just the disease.
