holistic healing

Treating everything together

Holistic healing is an approach to health that treats the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than focusing on specific symptoms or diseases.

Practitioners may combine conventional medicine with alternative therapies like acupuncture, meditation, or herbal remedies: She turned to holistic healing after traditional treatments failed.

The term often signals skepticism toward purely pharmaceutical approaches.
