Integrative Medicine
Integrative Medicine
Since there are so many different parts to address, integrative medicine practitioners often use a combination of multiple therapies such as acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic care, behavioural therapy, homeopathy, Bach flower remedies and energy work such as Reiki to provide thorough treatment in all areas.
The principles of integrative medicine include the following:
- The patient and practitioner are equal partners in the healing journey.
- Natural and less invasive interventions All factors that affect one's health are considered, including body, mind, emotions and community.
- Treatments are personalised and tailored to the individuals' needs, conditions and circumstances.
- All healing sciences are implemented to encourage the body's natural, innate healing responses; to enhance the immune system to promote healing.
Integrative medicine combines the traditional approach to health with Natural therapies which can be alongside conventional medicine. It also encourages healthy behaviours and skills necessary for the patient as they follow through with the self-care techniques needed to remain disease-free for the rest of their lives.
You should always consult your GP before stopping or starting any treatment.
