Holistic Health Holistic
health is best defined as an approach to life. In addition to preventing and
treating illness, holistic health focuses on reaching higher levels of
wellness. Holistic health, then, is an ongoing process. Even when no illness
is present, the individual is making lifestyle choices--physical, mental, environmental,
social, nutritional, and spiritual choices--that lead to even better
health. With holistic health, no matter what the present health of a
person, and regardless of health setbacks, the goal is to move toward better
health in body, mind, and spirit. When illness or chronic conditions do
occur, holistic principles are applied. The term used then is Holistic
Medicine.
