Holistic medicine is a form of healing that takes into consideration the whole person; body, mind, spirit, and emotions. Holistic medicine combines traditional medicine and complementary and alternative medical methods.
Practitioners of holistic medicine believe that the whole person is made up of many interdependent parts and if one aspect of a person is not working as it should, everything thing else will be affected. Imbalances (physical, emotional, or spiritual) can negatively affect their overall health.
The quest for optimal health and wellness from a holistic perspective is achieved by gaining proper balance in life.
