Integrative medicine is a personalized approach to healthcare that combines conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health. The goal of integrative medicine is to treat the whole person, considering their lifestyle, environment, and individual needs.
This approach often involves a partnership between the patient and the doctor, with an emphasis on personalized care. Integrative medicine may include a variety of interventions, such as dietary changes, mind-body practices, herbal supplements, acupuncture, and other non-traditional therapies, alongside conventional medical treatments.
The integration of evidence-based complementary therapies is intended to enhance the effectiveness of conventional medical treatments and promote overall well-being.
