​Holism (from a Greek word meaning all, whole, entire, total) is the idea that natural systems (physical, biological, chemical, social, mental etc.) and their properties, should be viewed as wholes, not as collections of parts.  This often includes the view that systems somehow function as wholes and that their functioning cannot be fully understood soley in terms of their component parts. 

​

​The body is an elaborate, interconnected, living matrix of individual parts, the whole being synergistically greater than the sum of the parts.  Any attempt to divide the body into separate, functional systems based on anatomy, proximity or physiology is plagued by inaccuracies and shortcomings.  In a holistic view of medicine there is not much meaning in a disease name, as holistic practitioners are treating people and not illness.

​

​Reductionism is often viewed as the opposite of holism.  Reductionism in science says that a complex system can be explained by reduction to its fundamental parts.  For example, the processes of biology are reducible to chemistry and the laws of chemistry are expained by physics.  Allopathic medicine is based on the concepts of Reductionism.  It believes that if one remedy works to cure a set of symptoms in one perosn it will do the same in another person.  It is also based on the assumption that diseases are either caused by physical defects or by invaders from the outside such as viruses and toxins (Germs Theory)
