holistic practice

Comprehensive wellness method

Holistic practice is an approach to health, wellness, or problem-solving that considers the whole person or system rather than isolated parts.

In medicine, it might address mind, body, and spirit together rather than treating symptoms in isolation: Her holistic practice includes nutrition counseling alongside traditional therapy.

The term appears across fields from education to business, sometimes earnestly, sometimes as marketing language for alternative treatments.
