"Holistic Medicine is the art and science of healing that addresses care of the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. The practice of holistic medicine integrates conventional and complementary therapies to promote optimal health and prevent and treat disease by mitigating causes."
As defined by The Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine.
Holistic medicine's most distinguishing characteristic is that it is based on the fundamental beliefs that unconditional love is life's most powerful healer. The perceived loss of love is our greatest health risk.
