Holistic can be defined in many different ways. In general, it means a whole approach to wellness and well-being. Holistic medicine can include herbs, acupuncture, chiropractic, homeopathy and naturopathy. Holistic fitness can include pilates, yoga, mediation, tai chi and the martial arts. In a broad sense, it it improving your health without drugs or surgery.

In the SL context the word 'holistic' denotes a broad, system-wide approach to thinking about poverty. SL analysis is holistic in the sense that it tries to include all factors that affect livelihoods (whether or not these are explicitly noted in the SL framework). Nothing is excluded at the outset (though things may be eliminated due to judged lack of importance as analysis proceeds) and effort is made to understand both the links between different factors and the dynamism of the whole.

We believe in the holistic approach. The Academy of Natural Health prides itself on providing a truly holistic course in massage. Holistic isn't just a trendy word for us - it is a philosophy and approach to living that permeates everything we do.

No. The SL approach is holistic in the sense that it tries to take into account all the major influences on livelihoods. It does not start from a sectoral perspective. But tries to understand in conjunction with local people how livelihoods are 'constructed'. This does not, however, mean that SL-guided programmes and projects must try to do everything. Holistic analysis ideally leads to a more accurate assessment of where and how to intervene within a strategic programme of targeted activities.

Many of us experience stressful situations in our everyday lives. Chronically holding emotional, physical and mental stress unbalances the chemistry of the body which in turn compromises the tissues.

Most of the antioxidants on the market do not take a holistic approach. They may supply the body with antioxidant nutrients, but don't take into account the resulting by-products and don't address making the body a better free radical fighter. It is very important that antioxidants be complete so that when they do their job opposing free radicals, the process does not result in the creation of additional free radicals.

Answer: The Aboriginal worldview sees health as a whole, which includes four aspects of a person’s being; Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual. So when Aboriginal people say holistic care, they mean that a person can only be truly healthy if they are healthy in all four areas. In mainstream health care, it is very similar, but not as specific as the Aboriginal worldview.
