Dear Reader,

The truth is, if we want to approach our own health in a holistic way, we need to take ownership of it. That means it’s up to each of us to know what we need to reach a complete state of well-being — mind, body and spirit. Mayo Clinic Guide to Holistic Health is your trusted companion in your holistic health journey.

My colleagues in Integrative Medicine and Health at Mayo Clinic and I developed this book to help you explore all aspects of your personal health. This book is intended to provide you with straightforward information about taking a holistic approach to your health. We want you to know about the various therapies we use, as well as other ones in common use, and the science and evidence about their use. We also included some emerging therapies that may prove helpful as more evidence accumulates.

Inside, you'll find the following and more:

The interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional health and how they influence each other.
Essential strategies for nurturing your complete well-being, including the significance of spirituality and the vital connection to nature.
Practical guidance on optimizing your health, even while managing chronic illness.

It's time to shift the paradigm from reactive to proactive healthcare. We hope that the Mayo Clinic Guide to Holistic Health will serve as your personal guide to enjoying all aspects of your health to the fullest. Order your copy today and start your holistic wellness journey.
