Holistic health can refer to several different branches within medicine. Holistic nursing, for example, is a form of nursing practice that considers the whole person, including their mental health, work life, family, and overall health, as worthy of treatment, not just the immediate symptoms or disease. Another use of the term holistic health refers to alternative health care, such as chiropractic practices, Reiki, and energy healing, which are non-scientific forms of practice. Still another form of holistic health includes wellness programs, such as massage therapy, yoga, and osteopathy.
