What Does “Holistic” Really Mean?
What Does “Holistic” Really Mean?

 You may be asking what does the word holistic mean?  According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary the definition of holistic is “relating to or concerned with wholes or the complete system rather than the analysis of, or treatment dissected into parts.” 

 

When we look at our Skin Rehab brand, the term holistic means to treat more than just the symptoms, but to look at the whole body with a healing approach. 

 

That is what you’ll find with our formulations, they go behind just addressing the superficial symptoms associated with skin traumas.  They offer cellular healing, skin strengthening support, and of course the alleviation of discomfort. 

 

Skin Traumas

 

There are many ways we experience traumatized skin.  We may initially think of when we receive an aesthetic procedure like a chemical peel, micro-needling, or laser treatment.  However, traumas can result from burns, cuts and abrasions, rashes, bug bites, surgical wounds, seasonal stresses, even medications and medical conditions.  Treating not just the wound but focusing on ingredients that help strengthen the integrity of the skin is key.
