medicinal herbs and Prolotherapy. Holistic Health has been practiced in India since ancient times for more than 5000
years.
The term Holistic Medicine has become common among Indian practitioners of Alternative and Complementary
Medicine to denote an approach to medicine and medical methodology that tries to treat the person as a whole. This approach
assumes that disease is not made up of visible symptoms alone.The empirical study of psychosomatic symptoms have confirmed
that often non-infectious diseases do have a psychological component, and it needs to be solved before the person can be called
well. Alternative medical systems have always emphasized this fact, and thus their stress on holistic (or wholistic) medical
approach.
