Integrative health
Integrative Health is an approach to health care that:
- focuses on the mind, body and spirit, meaning it deals with physical, psycho-social, emotional and spiritual needs
- taps into the body’s natural healing capabilities
- incorporates or complements conventional medicine, often called Western medicine
- involves patients as empowered partners
- promotes health and prevention of illness through education, coaching, self-care and wellness practices.
Complementary therapies, such as massage therapies, acupuncture and music therapy, fall under the broader category of integrative health, as does integrative medicine.
