Holistic health

“Holism is the theory that the universe is made of interactive whole organisms that are more than the mere sum of their parts, and that what affects one part also affects the others. …
Holistic health is an approach to life where the whole person is valued. Rather than focusing on specific parts of a person’s body, holistic health considers the person’s body, thoughts, emotions, spirit and interaction with others and with the environment. The aim of holistic health is to support maximum well-being with the resources available.”
— American Holistic Nurses Association
