What is Integrative Wellness?
Integrative health adopts a holistic approach and combines conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary and alternative therapies. It emphasizes prevention and treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than focusing solely on symptoms or specific diseases. It aims to use natural, less invasive, and less expensive methods of treatment first, while still recognizing and appreciating the need for conventional modalities when necessary.
Integrative health is not meant to replace conventional medicine but rather complement it. It is a collaboration of conventional medical treatments, lifestyle modifications, nutrition, and mind-body practices for a more comprehensive and personalized approach to healthcare.
