Integrative Medical Services
Integrative medicine is about “integrating” different aspects of the human being, physical, emotional and spiritual, into health and wellness. Integrative medicine focuses on healing and health, rather than disease and treatment. It considers the patient’s mind, body, spirit. It works amongst many things with lifestyle, such as diet, exercise, and sleep. It is attributing imbalances-Dis-Eases- not solely to the physical aspect of the physical body but acknowledging that the other parts of our human existence are most intimately interrelated with our physical, emotional and spiritual well being. Each of those different parts (physical, emotional, spiritual) influences and affects the others. Being well involves working on all those different aspects and it’s a constant work in progress. It is not a static situation, it requires work day in and day out.
There are different forms and words and philosophical traditions from different cultures. Alternative medicine is a term that is not really used that much anymore, because this path of integrating the different aspects of the human being into health and wellness is not an alternative, but it is the path. And that path can and is different for each human being based on their beliefs, physical, spiritual and cultural practices, and their gifts they bring to this earth as well as their learning opportunities.
In integrative medicine we include mindfulness practices, positivity exercise, all the wholesome nutrition, organic and biodynamic and other rhythm therapy, movement disciplines, and mindfulness for the earth. The earth can only help us to stay well as long as we take care of her too.
