Holistic Therapies

Holistic health is a philosophy of medical care that views physical and mental health as being closely interconnected and of equal importance when approaches to treatment are being considered. Holistic therapies are frequently associated with alternative medicine but are increasingly being used in mainstream medical practice as part of a broad view of patient care.

Holistic health is not itself a method of treatment, but is an approach to how treatment should be applied. Holistic concepts of health and fitness view achieving and maintaining good health as requiring more than just taking care of a single aspect of the physical body, but additionally incorporating aspects such as emotional and spiritual well-being.

The goal is a wellness that encompasses the whole person, rather than just aiming for the lack of physical pain or disease. It is often used in contrast to the medical model that focuses on treating symptoms and syndromes without attempting to address functioning beyond the absence of disease.
