Integrative medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with evidence-based complementary therapies. It focuses on treating the whole person, rather than just addressing specific symptoms or diseases. The goal of integrative medicine is to optimise health, promote healing, and improve overall well-being by addressing all aspects of a patient’s life, including physical, emotional, social, and environmental factors.

Key features of integrative medicine include:

- Individuals are considered as an active partner in their health recovery.
- Treatment plans are tailored to meet their unique needs and preferences.

Integrative medicine combines conventional treatments with complementary therapies to enhance physical wellness and recovery.
Disease prevention and promoting healthy lifestyles are a strong focus of integrative medicine. This includes managing stress, enhancing diet, improving sleep, and encouraging physical activity.

Integrative medicine endorses therapies that are supported by scientific evidence, ensuring that treatments are safe and effective. All aspects of the individual’s life, are addressed, including mental, emotional, and social factors that could influence health. Interventions that prioritise natural, less invasive interventions are recommended whenever possible, supporting the body's innate ability to heal itself.
