holistic medicine
Treating the whole
Holistic medicine is an approach to healthcare that treats the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than focusing on isolated symptoms or diseases.
Practitioners may combine conventional medical treatments with alternative therapies like acupuncture, nutrition, or meditation: She turned to holistic medicine after traditional treatments failed.
The term sometimes signals skepticism of mainstream medicine, though many conventional doctors now embrace aspects of the holistic approach.
