INFORMATION
Under a holistic and individualized vision of healing, conventional medicine is integrated with other health sciences, thus creating the concept of integral medicine, which also incorporates the mind, body, spirit, and social context of the patient. The main focus is on the person rather than the disease.
Special techniques such as acupuncture, nutritional intervention, mind-body therapies, and holistic massages (1) are all part of the treatment offered in this practice. Different studies have shown the usefulness of integral medicine; the most recent ones demonstrated its usefulness in the management of chronic pain, post-stroke recovery, cancer, etc. (2,3,4,5).
While the benefits of integral medicine include improving the symptoms of various kinds of the disease, they are very tangible for cancer patients (6,7,8).
The combination of different health sciences leads to a better result in the management of health problems.
SERVICE
In integral medicine, the main focus is the person rather than the disease. After a medical evaluation that includes both clinical and nutritional histories, anthropometry, and a physical examination, a comprehensive medicine plan is carried out. This includes: a medical-nutritional plan, a medical supplementation plan, exercise recommendations, stress management, and other medical practices like acupuncture, Chinese medicine, orthomolecular medicine, massage therapy, etc.
