holistic health

Mind-body-spirit care

Holistic health is an approach to wellness that considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than treating isolated symptoms or conditions.

It emphasizes the interconnection of physical, mental, emotional, and sometimes spiritual well-being: She turned to holistic health after conventional medicine failed to address her chronic fatigue.

Practitioners may combine conventional treatments with alternative therapies like acupuncture, meditation, or nutrition counseling.
