Holistic medicine is an approach to health care that considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just focusing on specific symptoms or illnesses. It emphasizes the importance of balance and harmony in all aspects of life, including physical, emotional, and social well-being. Practitioners often use a combination of traditional and alternative therapies to promote healing. Common practices in holistic medicine include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mindfulness techniques. This approach encourages patients to take an active role in their health by making lifestyle changes, such as improving diet and managing stress, to support overall wellness.
