What is integrative medicine?
Integrative medicine is an approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with complementary and alternative therapies, with a focus on treating the whole person, rather than just the disease. This approach considers the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of a person's health, and aims to provide personalized, patient-centered care. Integrative medicine seeks to enhance the body's natural healing abilities and promote optimal wellness.
