Holistic medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that considers the full person. Its goal is to improve physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Holistic medicine is a type of medicine that blends standard treatment with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Holistic medicine isn't designed to be used in place of traditional medical care in general. It's usually suggested as a supplement to other treatments. Holistic treatment focuses on curing the whole person, not simply the symptoms of an illness or distress. A holistic doctor is a doctor who specialises in holistic medicine. The inclination to treat symptoms simply, rather than seeking and treating the fundamental cause or addressing a confluence of several contributing variables, is a response to what some people regard as a more reactionary approach to health. Because the terminology seem similar, holistic medicine and homoeopathy may be confused, but they are not the same.
