Holistic medicine views illness and disease as an imbalance of the mind and body where symptoms are expressed in the physical, emotional or mental levels of a person and focuses on preventing illness and disease.

All aspects of a person are interrelated, any disharmony is thought to stress the body and lead to sickness. To fight disease, alternative medicine uses a wide range of therapies to bolster the body's own defenses and restore balance.

Natural medicine assesses the symptoms as a sign or reflection of a deeper instability within the person, and it tries to restore the physical and or mental harmony that will then alleviate the symptoms.

Complementary and alternative medicine can work along side prescribed treatments and medication to aid recovery.
