According to Riverside Village Clinic: "Holistic health and wellness is the practice of treating the whole mind, body, and spirit. While a traditional healthcare provider may seek to treat various symptoms you present without considering other factors which may be at play, a holistic wellness provider will seek to find the root cause of your symptoms and treat all accordingly."
Aspects of Holistic Well-being:
Physical well-being
The Body is often described as a vessel. Taking care of it is essential to maintain stability, flexibility, and the prevention of diseases.
Mental well-being
This includes being mindful of your thoughts and emotions, which influence your interactions with yourself and others.
Social well-being
Social support is a crucial aspect of our well-being. This aspect includes the connection you have with others, the way you interact, connect and form bonds.
Spiritual well-being
This encompasses feeling connected to the inner self and/or believing in a higher power. Spiritual well-being may help us find meaning in life and inspire us to continue to grow.
