Holistic Health: A Call for Reform on Cultural Construction
What is the true meaning of well-being?
“A state of physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”
-As defined in the World Health Organization constitution.
What kind of factors and development go into creating a public health care system? Personally, I would say that public health care, one that citizens pay into, ought to provide a citizen-centered health service to ensure the optimal health of every person. This sort of program would call for trust in the health provider that means of healing be born in the purest forms of health and righteousness. These questions and concepts on health care developed as I began conducting research on Holistic health and what it means to live holistically. This research began socially, on Instagram, where I simply collected information about the way people were considering and sharing Holistic Heath practices. My research then took on a much greater, much more scientific and scholarly form when I was unraveling the origins and principles of holism.

I will be focusing on the social construction of treatment versus wellness in today’s society. This mostly covers the norms of human consumption, or dieting, mixed with the way in which people are taken care of when they are unwell. My research will reveal the ways in which health has become based on the social construction of treatment through pills and medications, and eating has been widely discarded as a form of wellness. As my one source, Social Care Informatics as an Essential Part of Holistic Health Care: A Call for Action, points out, it is essential to go back to core values and remember that health is in fact an optimum level of personal functioning, both physical and perceived, defined in the World Health Organization constitution as “a state of physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”(Rigby, Hill, Koch, Keeling, 2). My intentions are to prove that medications are socially constructed to do the opposite f healing, which has become known as treating.
