Additionally, it can help reduce stress levels by providing calming activities such as yoga and meditation, as well as giving individuals strategies to better cope with difficult situations. Furthermore, if prescribed medications are used alongside holistic treatments they can often be reduced or even stopped altogether, reducing any potential side effects associated with them.
