Integrative Medicine represents a paradigm shift in healthcare, embracing a holistic and patient-centered philosophy that integrates conventional medical practices with evidence-based complementary therapies. This approach recognizes that health is not solely determined by the absence of disease but involves the interconnected dynamics of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Unlike traditional medicine, which often focuses on symptom management, Integrative Medicine delves into the root causes of illness. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the patient's lifestyle, environment, and individual factors in crafting personalized treatment plans. Therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, mind-body practices, and nutritional interventions are employed to complement conventional medical interventions.
Integrative Medicine also places a significant emphasis on prevention, recognizing that a proactive approach to health can mitigate the risk of chronic diseases. By promoting healthy behaviors, encouraging stress management, and addressing lifestyle factors.
