Integrative medicine is a dynamic alliance combining approaches to health care. The alliance includes the practice of conventional, natural, alternative, complementary and herbal remedies. These approaches are often referred to as holistic medicine or alternative medicine. Traditional and non-traditional modalities can work together, resulting in safer, faster and more effective remedies at less cost.
[ Definition of Integrative Medicine – American Association of Integrative Medicine]
Integrative medicine (IM) is healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and soul), including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative.
The Defining Principles of Integrative Medicine
- Patient and practitioner are partners in the healing process.
- All factors that influence health, wellness, and disease are taken into consideration, including mind, soul, and community, as well as the body.
- Appropriate use of both conventional and alternative methods facilitates the body's innate healing response.
- Effective interventions that are natural and less invasive should be used whenever possible.
- Integrative medicine neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically.
- Good medicine is based in good science. It is inquiry-driven and open to new paradigms.
- Alongside the concept of treatment, the broader concepts of health promotion and the prevention of illness are paramount.
- Practitioners of integrative medicine should exemplify its principles and commit themselves to self-exploration and self-development.
