The foundation of integrative medicine
The foundation of integrative medicine (or holistic health) is a healthy lifestyle (which includes balanced nutrition, exercise, etc) combined with various alternative medicines. In this video we will briefly introduce the different types of complementary and alternative therapies available.
These natural health therapies can be broadly divided in to 6 groups, namely traditional alternative medicine, body, diet and herbs, external energy, mind and senses.
1. Traditional Alternative Medicine.
This group includes the more mainstream and accepted forms of therapy which have been practiced worldwide for centuries.
Traditional alternative medicine includes acupuncture, Ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy and traditional Chinese medicine
2. Body.
Healing by touch is based on the idea that illness or injury in one area of the body can affect all parts of the body. With manual manipulation the other parts can be brought back to optimum health. The body can fully focus on healing at the site of injury or illness. Examples of body therapies include chiropractic and osteopathic medicine, massage, body movement therapies, Tai chi and Yoga
3. Diet and herbs.
Nutritional excess and deficiency have become problems in today's society leading to certain chronic diseases. Many dietary and herbal approaches attempt to balance the body's nutritional well-being. Dietary and herbal approaches may include nutrition/diet, dietary supplements and western herbal medicine.
4. External energy.
Some people believe external energies from objects or other sources directly affect a person's health. Examples of external energy therapy include electromagnetic therapy, Reiki and Qigong
5. Mind.
Conventional medicine recognises the power of the connection between mind and body. Studies have found that people heal better if they have good emotional and mental health. Therapies using the mind include meditation, biofeedback, hypnosis and mindfulness.
6. Senses
Some people believe the senses, touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste can affect overall health. Examples of therapies incorporating the senses include art, dance and music, aromatherapy and visualization and guided imagery.
Integrative health care often brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way. It emphasizes a holistic, patient-focused approach to health care and wellness, often including mental, emotional, functional, spiritual, social, and community aspects, and treating the whole person rather than, for example, one organ system. It aims for well-coordinated care between different providers and institutions.
