Treat the whole animal, not just the symptoms from "summary" of The Nature of Animal Healing by Martin Goldstein, D.V.M.
When it comes to healing our animal companions, it is crucial to understand that symptoms are merely the body's way of expressing an underlying imbalance. This imbalance is what truly needs to be addressed in order to bring about lasting health and well-being. By focusing solely on alleviating symptoms, we are essentially applying a band-aid solution that may provide temporary relief but fails to address the root cause of the issue. This approach often leads to a cycle of recurring symptoms and the need for continuous treatment. In order to truly heal our animals, we must adopt a holistic approach that takes into consideration the interconnectedness of their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This means treating the whole animal - body, mind, and spirit - rather than just targeting isolated symptoms. When we approach healing in this way, we are able to address the underlying imbalances that are contributing to the symptoms our animals are experiencing. By restoring balance to the entire being, we can support the body's innate ability to heal itself and promote long-term health and vitality.
