Holistic wellness recognizes that health involves more than just physical well-being. Understanding the interconnection between mind, body, and spirit can lead to more balanced approaches to health.
What Is Holistic Wellness?
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health describes whole-person health as an approach that considers all aspects of a person's life, including physical, mental, emotional, and social factors.
The Mind-Body Connection
Research from Harvard Health Publishing demonstrates strong connections between mental and physical health. Stress, for example, can manifest as physical symptoms.
