What is integrative health or integtrative wellness?
Integrative Health is the combination of a number of different modalities as fore mentioned that act to harmonize the systems of the body to prevent and treat disease, but most importantly to improve the quality of life. All too often, the health care profession confuses improving the quality of life with simply sustaining or prolonging life. It is the sworn duty (Hippocratic Oath) of health care practitioners to first do no harm. It is a common trend in this day and age to first recommend surgery or harmful chemicals instead of providing counseling and medical alternatives which may address not only the chief complaint but all secondary symptoms for a fraction of the cost and down time.
