- Holistic
- Refers to the whole person. Holistic health care concerns itself with not only physical health, but with total emotional, physical, spiritual and mental well-being. When you get sick or injured, or when part of your body is not functioning properly, it affects the whole body. Thus, the whole body must be treated rather than focusing only on the illness or body part that is unhealthy. Holistic health care involves the use of natural supplements, diet, exercise and spiritual or emotional therapies. Those who promote this approach say it causes few side effects, costs less than traditional medical health care and leads to a healthier lifestyle, preventing future illnesses.
