Etymology: Gk, holos
pertaining to the whole; considering all factors, as holistic medicine. Also spelled wholistic.

holistic [ho-lis´tik]
pertaining to totality, or to the whole. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the concept of holistic health and the notion that the physical, mental, social, and spiritual aspects of a person's life must be viewed as an integrated whole. This leads to a broader concept of patient/client care in which emotional and social needs are dealt with as well as physical needs.
