Holistic health is a concept in medical practise upholding that all aspects of people's needs including psychological, physical and social should be taken into account and seen as a whole. As defined above, the holistic view is widely accepted in medicine. When we refer to holistic or alternative medicine, or a holistic or alternative approach to health and living, we are referring to the belief that the cause of a problem must be sought and dealt with, instead of simply treating the symptoms. A holistic or alternative approach will also look at the entire spectrum of the person's being - be that diet, exercise, mental state of mind and attitude, being in touch with himself, his surroundings and his Higher self.
