The word "holistic" comes from the Greek root "holos" , which means whole , total ,
entire. Holistic means to understand the entire human being. In holistic
health , the entire human being is considered , paying attention to the
interaction and integration of the biological and physiological (body and
breath) , psychological (conscious and unconscious mind) and philosophical (soul)
dimensions. The emphasis is on treating the whole patient and not just the
symptoms of disease.
