This review article is based on the holistic methods which can be helpful in maintaining mental stress caused by different reasons like lockdown, economic conditions, stress due to social distancing, stress due to lack of work, family disputes due to lockdown, no work and to protect physical health etc.An emotional turmoil is there in the mind of lots of people because of the current unavoidable circumstances created due to pandemic COVID 19.A much-needed approach in improving mental health is required for unavoidable circumstances like epidemics,violence etc.Holistic approach is beneficial because medicines for mental disorders have side effects like addiction.The World Health Organization (WHO) defines holistic health as:Viewing man in his totality within a wide ecological spectrum, and emphasizing the view that ill health or disease is brought about by an imbalance, or disequilibrium, of man in his total ecological system and not only by the causative agent and pathogenic evolution.
