Non-traditional and alternative healthcare approaches such as holistic, natural, and Oriental medicine have seen a sharp rise in popularity in recent years, but amongst the cacophony of misinformation and wild claims of miracle cures, there is a dearth of validated sources of information for this confusing and largely unregulated marketplace. Consumers are forced to rely on Dr. Google and resort to wading through a myriad of health websites, blogs and forums, making it difficult to discern the effective treatments from the placebos.
"Wholistics is designed to make it easier for health conscious consumers to find and choose which product or therapy they can use to manage their health or chronic condition. If you’re looking for low-cost alternative or holistic medicine options, Wholistics gives you peace of mind that the therapies are effective and backed by clinical evidence.”
