Holistic medicine includes a range of treatment methodologies based on preventative and maintenance care.
Its primary difference from allopathic, or conventional 'modern' medicine, is that the body's systems are seen not as separate, but interrelated and irreducible - the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Health is viewed as a state of homeostasis, whereas diseases are seen as as blockages which upset or prevent this balance. In attempting to heal itself, the body can tend to over- or under-react to stress factors. Holistic therapies focus on removal of stress factors and restoring balance to the body by helping to regulate its own natural defenses.
