Holistic approaches work with the whole person -- the body, mind, emotions, environment and spirit. This means that they recognize the way our emotions affect our health, the way our health affects our emotions, and so on. It doesn't make sense from a holistic perspective to treat physical illnesses without dealing with the other parts of our being.
