OLISTIKI IATRIKI

OLISTIKI IATRIKI (HOLISTIC MEDICINE), in Thessaloniki, offers alternative treatments and approaches people, in accordance with the meaning of holistic, as a whole.

As humans consist of a body, mind and soul (spirit), there is positively interaction between all of them. That is, a full of toxins weak body directly affects a person’s psyche, as for example, a person who suffers from a chronic disease, very often also shows symptoms of depressive behavior. On the other hand, a person with a melancholic and anxious mood, is almost certain that he/she will somatize stress and begin to show weaknesses in various organs, for example, the adrenal glands and kidneys will weaken, digestion will slow down, etc., resulting in the development of so-called chronic diseases, such as hypertension, arthritis, atherosclerosis, hypothyroidism etc.

Nutrition also plays a major role in good health, as we are what we eat and, to put it more correctly, we are what we absorb. The deficiency of important trace elements (e.g. iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium) and vitamins, which is observed in the majority of people today, is more due to malabsorption, than to insufficient intake. The problem therefore, is not solved only by the administration of the correct molecules, of which there is a shortage in the human body, but principally by improving their digestion and absorption. For example, someone who is deficient in calcium should not just stick to calcium intake, but should also improve the function of his/her liver, pancreas, thyroid gland, adrenals and intestine. The good or bad functioning of each organ undoubtedly affects other organs, and thus, when an organ is ill, the entire human body is ill.

Almost all modern diseases are due to a wrong lifestyle (poor diet, toxic environment, stress, insufficient sleep, etc.), as a result of which the person becomes toxic and the body and soul are weakened. With a proper nutrition, proper detoxification of the systems and a change of lifestyle, which is achieved through the contribution of holistic medicine and naturopathy, the reversal of diseases is possible.
