The
Seacoast Better Living Expo’s goal is
to build awareness of alternative solutions
for everyday living. We are providing a venue
for the ever-expanding communities of holistic
health, eco-conscious industries, and spiritual
growth to show case their offerings to the
community in a fun and informative manner.
It is our belief that these
three areas of better living are an overlooked
part of the complex equation to finding a
sustainable lifestyle. Our hope is that we
provide choices, education and access to products
and service that we can incorporate into our
daily lives.
We are committed to furthering
education both holistic and green topics and
will be donating a portion of the proceeds
earned from this event to the New
England Seacoast Holistic Health Association to aide them in their charter of education
the general public on the benefits of holistic
medicine.
Sustainable Living: refers to a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual's or society's use of the Earth's natural resource. Practitioners of sustainable living often attempt to reduce their carbon footprint by altering methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet. Proponents of sustainable living aim to conduct their lives in manners that are consistent with sustainability, in natural balance and respectful of humanity's symbiotic relationship with the Earth's natural ecology and cycles. The practice and general philosophy of ecological living is highly interrelated with the overall principles of sustainable development.
Holistic Health: is a philosophy of medical care that views physical and mental and spiritual aspects of life as closely interconnected and equally important approaches to treatment. While frequently associated with alternative medicine, it may also be used in medical practice as part of a broad view of patient care.
Alternative Medicine: In Western culture, the term alternative medicine refers to any healing practice "that does not fall within the realm of conventional medicine", or "that which has not been shown consistently to be effective." Alternative medicine is often based on the belief that a particular health regimen has efficacious effects even while there isn't a body of evidence to support such a belief under the rigorous standards of evidence based medicine. In practice, alternative medicine encompasses therapies with a historical or cultural, rather than a scientific, basis. Commonly cited examples include naturopathy, chiropractic, herbalism, traditional Chinese medicine, Unani, Ayurveda, meditation, yoga, biofeedback, hypnosis, homeopathy, acupuncture, and diet-based therapies, in addition to a range of other practices
