Holistic medicine (holistic medicine) is an approach to health that considers the body, mind, spirit and environmental factors together, rather than evaluating the individual solely on the basis of physical symptoms. The main goal of this model is not only to treat diseases, but also to improve the overall quality of life of the individual and help them to restore their inner balance.

Holistic treatments, combined with the opportunities offered by modern medicine, offer effective results, especially in areas such as women’s health, which is closely related to hormones, mood and environmental factors.
