holistic approaches
Treating everything together
Holistic approaches consider something as a complete system rather than examining its parts separately.
The term appears frequently in medicine, where holistic approaches treat the whole person—body, mind, and circumstances—rather than isolated symptoms: The clinic takes holistic approaches to chronic pain management.
The phrase extends to education, business, and any field where comprehensive, interconnected thinking is valued over narrow focus.
