What is Integrative Health
Integrative health is healing-oriented medicine that honors the whole person, including a person’s values, lifestyle, and relationships. The goal is to use the most appropriate therapies and approaches to activate the body’s natural abilities to heal. It is informed by the most current medical research and draws from both conventional and complementary therapies.
