Introduction[edit | edit source]

Acupuncture

According to an article published in Cureus, "Integrative medicine is the treatment of patients through spiritual, emotional, mental, and environmental in addition to the physical means." The authors go on to say that "Specific techniques can include acupuncture, nutritional advisement, mind-body therapies, and holistic massages, but may involve any effective natural treatment outside of conventional methodology."[1]

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health indicates that integrative health "brings conventional and complementary approaches together" and "emphasizes multimodal interventions, which are two or more interventions such as conventional medicine, lifestyle changes, physical rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and complementary health approaches in various combinations, with an emphasis on treating the whole person rather than, for example, one organ system.[2] There are several factors that may help patients manage disease. For example, healthcare providers can:

Healthy Food
  • encourage patients to get regular medical checkups,
  • provide patient education and self-care tips,
  • encourage healthy eating behaviors,
  • teach strategies to manage stress, and
  • provide sleep hygiene guidelines.

Ayurvedic Medicine is another integrative approach that uses diet, herbs, massage, meditation, yoga, and therapeutic detoxification for healing.[3]
