Holistic health is a broad term used to describe a variety of philosophies, modalities and therapies that address physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Holistic health views the body, mind and spirit as innately connected, so what is happening in one area inevitably affects the whole. When these areas are in harmony, the result is health; when there is an imbalance, the result is disease. Additionally, most holistic approaches emphasize prevention and using natural solutions (such as food, herbal supplements and lifestyle changes) whenever possible.
