What is Holistic Medicine?
Holistic Medicine can support and motivate you to achieve optimal health through health education, allowing you to take self-responsibility and engage in your health and wellbeing, feeling empowered to make the necessary lifestyle changes. Some techniques are complementary (can be used with prescription medication, mainly to prevent the nutritional cost of many medicines) and some are alternatives (to use rather than, or instead of, mainstream prescription drugs).
Holistic, natural, integrative medicine uses modalities like biological system support (e.g. dietary, nutraceutical food supplements and herbal remedies) to manage chronic diseases. These modalities also encourage lifestyle changes to improve health risks (associated with e.g. obesity, diabetes and heart disease) and relaxation techniques (to reduce pain and promote overall well being), to name but a few

Two of my toes on each foot were feeling numb for the last 4/5 months. I work long hours seated behind a computer screen! Since using the Ginkgo drops for 10 days, feeling returned to my toes and there are only a slight numbness on one of the toes left.
