Hippocrates saw the man as the unity of the body, mind and soul, and the disease as the absence of balance between the internal and external world. The most important concept of the holistic treatment is to take the interest in the entire patient and not only in the illness affecting negatively his or her health. That approach regards the patient as the subject, defines the patient's needs and provides multidisciplinary treatment, taking into account not only the physical but also emotional, psychological, spiritual and social needs of the sick person. Such an approach allows to obtain better therapeutic effects.
