What is Alternative Medicine?
Alternative medicine applies to a range of medical practices and therapies that generally fall outside the realm of conventional and western forms of medicine. Alternative approaches to medicine may include traditional chinese medicine, ayurvedic medicine, acupuncture, biofeedback, nutritional therapies and/or diet based therapies.
What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine seeks to treat the whole person including the mental, physical, and spiritual dimensions of the individual. Integrative medicine also looks at personal lifestyle choices to determine if appropriate changes could lead to better health and well-being. Rather than simply focusing medical attention on particular symptoms and diseased organs, integrative medicine also incorporates the psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of health. Often, integrative medicine will combine strategies of alternative, complementary and conventional forms of medicine and may include yoga, prayer and meditation, herbs, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutial drugs in the treatment of disease.
What is Complementary Medicine?
Complementary medicine refers to medical therapies and practices that "complement" conventional medicine in the treatment of a wide variety of symptoms and diseases. Complementary medicine may include both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical approaches to disease or other combinations of treatment strategies in concert with conventional medicine.
