Integrative Medicine in Healthcare

Integrative medicine refers to the treatment of patients using spiritual, emotional, mental, and environmental approaches in addition to medical ones. The main premise is that while treating disease, all elements of the patient are evaluated, including natural and less invasive alternatives whenever available. Integrated medicine (or integrative medicine in the United States) is the practice of medicine that includes complementary medicine and alternative medicine aspects into comprehensive treatment plans with more traditional diagnostic and treatment approaches. Integrative medicine is described as therapeutic treatment that considers the full individual (body, mind, and spirit), as well as all aspects of lifestyle. Integrative medicine takes into account all of the factors that can affect one's health. It is the study of human ecology, which encompasses both physical and nonphysical aspects of people interaction with their surroundings. Relationships provide insight into each individual's unique condition and needs, which is used to provide care. Evidence and study will continue to aid us in determining which therapies will assist in the healing of the body.
