holistic therapy

Mind-body-spirit healing

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

The term covers diverse practices from acupuncture and massage to meditation and herbal medicine.

Practitioners emphasize the interconnection of physical health, emotional well-being, and lifestyle factors: She turned to holistic therapy after conventional medicine failed to address her chronic fatigue.
