Dr Stavy is a renown medical doctor in the UK offering a holistic medicine approach to your health and wellbeing by combining her extensive knowledge as a General Practitioner, Functional medicine doctor, acupuncture and homeopathy.

Integrative Medicine Clinic for Holistic Health, London

Do you need help to achieve optimal wellness by combining traditional and natural approaches to healing instead of popping a few pills for temporary relief?

Conventional medicine is great for treating acute care and trauma, but fails us in treating and preventing chronic diseases and persistent, undiagnosed symptoms. Holistic medicine is a form of healing that considers the whole person — body, mind, spirit, and emotions — in the quest for optimal health and wellness. According to the holistic medicine philosophy, one can achieve optimal health — the primary goal of holistic medicine practice — by gaining proper balance in life.

As a Holistic Medicine practitioner, Dr Stavy believes that the whole person is made up of interdependent systems and if one part is not working correctly, all the other parts will be affected. Imbalances (physical, emotional, or spiritual), therefore in our lives,  can negatively affect our overall health.

Dr Stavy’ss holistic approach, alongside her medical experience and her experience in Functional MedicineAcupuncture and Homeopathy enables her to treat her patients in their entirety to really get to the source of the dis-ease and return to balance.

Dr Stavy is outstanding. She takes incredible care to get to know her patients whole lives and how they change over time, and tailors her treatment accordingly. Her approach is genuinely life changing. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have been in touch with Dr Stavy for 5 or 6 years now and find the Functional medicine approach very helpful. I’ve had ME for a long time and conventional medicine is only able to treat/suppress the symptoms whereas the tests I’ve done for Dr Stavy have helped pinpoint some of the causes of my symptoms. She is easy and sympathetic to talk to and always very encouraging. She feels like a friend and it is good to know that she is there to support me when needed. I have also found her homeopathic treatment helpful.

First of all I have to say that Dr Stavy is a wonderful person. She is so kind and trying always to help you. Our relation is very old since last decade and we are very happy to have her in our life. I started alone as a single person and now we are seeking her advice as a family. Even that she is not close to us, as she is living in UK, our relationship is very strong.

Dr. Stavy has been treating me since November 2020 and since my life has only been better. Her engagement with her patients, the professionalism, the genuine support and compassion make Dr. Stavy a special therapist that one can trust primarily as a human and definitely as a doctor. Highly recommended.

What is Holistic medicine?

Holistic medicine means consideration of the complete person, physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually, in the management and prevention of disease. It is underpinned by the concept that there is a link between our physical health and our more general ‘well-being’. In a holistic approach to medicine, there is the belief that our well-being relies not just on what is going on in our body physically in terms of illness or disease, but also on the close inter-relation of this with our psychological, emotional, social, spiritual and environmental state. These different states can be equally important. They should be managed together so that a person is treated as a whole. In fact, some feel that the word holistic should really be spelt ‘wholistic’. A holistic approach means that the doctor is informed about a patient’s whole life situation.

The Principles Of Holistic Medicine.

Conventional and alternative therapies may be combined to treat and prevent disease so more patients can enjoy optimal health. A holistic health practitioner will look beyond symptoms and will also consider the impact of lifestyle, spiritual, nutritional, emotional, environmental, and physical aspects of life.

Guiding principles include:

Whole-person integration. Patients are not viewed as their symptoms; they are considered as a whole (mind, body, spirit).
Holistic medicine seeks to find the cause of disease rather than how to treat symptoms.
Significant effort is expended on establishing a clear understanding of the factors that may contribute to a person’s disease state.
Illness is not isolated from the patient but rather a manifestation of dysfunction within the whole person.
The patient-practitioner relationship is a significant factor in determining healing outcomes.
The professional relationship considers the needs and objectives of the patient as well as their personal insights and awareness of both patient and practitioner.
The body has an innate ability to heal; the practitioner’s intent is to facilitate this.
Holistic practitioners continually explore safe and effective options for diagnosing and treating a variety of conditions.

What Can Holistic Medicine Treat?

Holistic therapies can address numerous health issues. We provide personalized health care to patients who want to improve their physical and mental health, as well as those who have specific medical concerns. Some of the conditions that can be addressed with a holistic approach include:

Diabetes
Osteoporosis
Thyroid disease
Adrenal and pituitary disorders
Weight concerns
PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome
Neuropathy

Benefits Of Alternative and Complementary Medicine

There are several reasons why alternative medical care is appealing, including:

Receive personal attention. Holistic medicine emphasizes both mind and body as a way to understand and achieve whole-body health. To achieve this, practitioners spend time getting to know the various aspects of their patient’s lives.
Well-rounded care. The disease is not separate from the person who carries it. Alternative medicine does not focus on the disease, then, it considers all aspects of physical wellness as well as each patient’s emotional and spiritual health.
Alternative medicine treats the cause. A holistic approach questions the many factors that may be involved in disease to unearth the originating causes. This could be diet, stress, immune suppression, or other triggers. By finding the cause, the need to treat symptoms decreases.
Treatment is flexible. Conventional medicine treats symptoms, often with medication. Even in light of lifestyle changes, a course of treatment may not change. Holistic medicine is more fluid, closely following the response to various therapies and lifestyle modifications and adjusting as needed.
Holistic therapies seek to improve the way the body functions naturally. This decreases the chance of becoming reliant on medication.

Dr Stavy has to be one of the warmest, most empathic Doctors I have ever had the pleasure to be treated by. Before attending Dr Stavy's clinic I had been around the houses to loads of Dr's and alternative practitioners to get help with my chronic fatigue.
