The Holistic Health Practitioner does not ...

 

• Diagnose disease. A holistic health practitioner performs evaluations to determine causes of potential health problems, but they do not diagnose disease. 

• Treat disease by using artificial aids. A holistic health practitioner focuses on restoring health by working with the body's own innate ability to heal itself, and he empowers clients to take charge of their own good health.

• Prescribe drugs or pharmaceuticals. Holistic health practitioners may teach clients about using exercise, herbs, essential oils, homeopathic remedies, dietary supplements, and nutrition, but they do not prescribe any medications.

• Holistic Health Practitioners do not perform any invasive procedures, give injections, or draw blood, or perform surgery.
