Holistic
Holistic medicine integrates conventional and alternative
therapies to help prevent and treat diseases, and promote optimum health.
Holistic medicine can be best described as the art and
science of healing that encompasses the whole person, their mind, body, and
spirit.
The word holistic comes from the word whole. This system
of medicine addresses all parts of the individual, not just the physical aspect
of a person where the illness or conditions are most apparent.
