Functional Medicine – Taking charge of Your Wellness

Thanks to new knowledge and studies, we now know that the standard practice of medicine needs to change. What worked 100 years ago or even 50, is not as relevant today. New opinions and study outcomes are giving new insight as to why we are so sick, all of the time.

According to Wikipedia, Functional Medicine is focussed on asking why is the disease there in the first place. This makes a lot of sense when matching up the right medicine to the disease is just not working out for the long term.

Functional Medicine is essentially the evolution of medical care.

Acclaimed Doctor Mark Hyman, MD explains: “Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century.

By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.

Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories. These doctors also look at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.”

Healthy Medicine – Is there such a thing?

“Healthy medicine” is quite the revolutionary term. We have become used to the fact that medicines can create unwanted effects in the body. Alternative therapies and practices have also resurfaced as people have become aware of what is available to them.

Oil Pulling is one of these therapies that has risen up again, particularly because of the benefits to preserving dental health. It is also a safe and simple practice and can form part of your daily life.

Cocobaci has improved on just the usual benefits of oil pulling. These single use convenient sachets have been super-charged with Gemmotherapy. Gemmotherapy is vegetal stem cell therapy in a nutshell and has a gentle yet potent effect on the body. The chosen formula made from Oak Bud extract helps to drain toxins at a cellular level. This helps your body to help itself by relieving some of the constant pressure it is under.
