Holistic treatment can assist patients accept and assume self-responsibility, as well as improve their satisfaction with healthcare. It will also lead to a greater understanding of how illnesses affect patients' reactions and genuine requirements. Complex psychological, social, and cultural needs disrupt a patient's balance and impair his or her capacity to carry out daily activities throughout an illness. Patients' physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs are all addressed in holistic treatment, which restores their equilibrium and allows them to cope with their ailments, thereby enhancing their lives.
