Holism is defined as the concept of wellness - a state of harmony that exists between body, mind and spirit in an ever-changing environment, according to Adam Perlman, MD, MPH, FACP, executive director of the Institute for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. It's a philosophy that views everything in terms of patterns of organization, relationships, interactions and processes - all of which combine to form a whole.
 But the holism philosophy is not simply substituting an herb for a medication. Integrative medicine is a modern term for holism. It's an integrative approach that combines the technology and expertise of conventional medicine with the healing powers and wisdom of complementary therapies. An integrative approach looks beyond symptoms of disease status and considers the whole person so one can stimulate the body's natural healing potential.
