Integrative Medicine is the combining of both Western conventional and natural approaches to health. Dr. Bonnie McLean tells us all about it in her new book Integrative Medicine: The Return of the Soul To Healthcare
In the west, when we go to the doctor they prescribe a drug or want to do a diagnostic procedure or perhaps think some kind of surgery is necessary. This approach is geared to “fix” something that is wrong with us.
Natural medicine is based on the belief that the body is a self-healing mechanism. If it is ill, it is out of its own balance. This approach is focused on correcting that imbalance.
There are different approaches to do this depending on the specialty; Some examples are: Chiropractic focuses on the structure of the body. Acupuncture focuses on the energy body, soft tissue, and fascia. Massage focus on the muscles and soft tissue. Herbology, naturopathy and functional medicine focus on nutritional imbalances. Integrative medicine uses the best of both approaches plus the self-empowerment of the patient in participating in their own healing process through education and lifestyle change.
