The holistic approach to treatment looks to take account of an individual‟s whole being. Not just their physical symptoms or issues but also looking in some depth at their emotional, mental, spiritual, environmental, nutritional, personal factors, life choices and circumstances, both positive and negative, past and present as all these aspects can impact upon the physical body greatly and affect homeostasis. Homeostasis is the body's mechanism for keeping our metabolism in equilibrium, to keep us in balance and harmony.
