Alternative, Intergrated and Holistic medicine are three different medical modalities. Below, we discuss these three independent ideologies, provide examples of each, discuss how they work together as a cohesive medical ideology, and provide information on how to find the best holistic functional integrative medical practitioner near you.

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine is an evidence-based approach to merging multiple systems of medicine. This includes conventional Western medicine as well as nutrition, Eastern medicine such as Ayurvedic medicine and homeopathy, Chinese medicine, and more.

The defining principles of integrative medicine do not exclude any modalities of care; instead, integrative medicine uses multiple healing sciences to contribute to the body’s innate healing response.

The integrated approach believes that all forms of evidence-based medicine can work together to provide the best health care possible while minimizing unnecessary invasiveness. Although integrative medicine prefers less-invasive interventions when possible, it doesn’t exclude conventional invasive treatments when they are determined to be the best course of treatment for your condition.

What is Holistic Medicine?

Holistic medicine is a healing-oriented mindset that focuses on the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental influences that affect a person’s health. It considers health not only of the physical body, but also evaluates thoughts, emotions, and life stressors in the context of their chemistry and physiology.

Holistic medicine seeks to restore and maintain health in all aspects of a person’s life by addressing not only immediate health needs, but also balancing a healthy body, mind, and spirit to promote health and prevent illness.

In holistic medicine, natural remedies are preferred. However, conventional treatments will be used if they are determined to be the best course of treatment. We work beside your conventional primary physician as an alternative to achieve optimum wellness.

SPIRITUAL HEALTH

What is spiritual health and wellness?

When you are spiritually well, you feel harmony within yourself, your life and the world around you. It is a personal journey that helps you to define your values, beliefs, and purpose. Spiritual wellness involves both the mind and the body and can be nurtured through centering practices and activities that help to promote self-love. Examples :- include, prayer, prayer meditation, worship meditation and Bible devotion, reflections and affirmations

Spiritual/Pastoral/Biblical Counseling are all used to help us attune individuals to the higher self beyond our physical bodies and help us understanding our strength and purpose as well as find hope and healing.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine believes in uncovering the underlying cause of conditions, with an understanding that systems (bodily as well as mental and emotional) are interconnected through chemical, biological, and physiological.

While Conventional Western medicine categorizes organ systems as separate and specialized, functional medicine views all organ systems as integrated and considers how they work together rather than separately.

Functional medicine focuses on identifying and treating the cause of the condition rather than focusing primarily on suppressing symptoms.

Are Integrative and Functional Medicine the Same as Holistic Medicine?

Holistic medicine is considered a “whole body” approach to care but doesn’t necessarily describe a specific model of healthcare. A functional medical doctor, naturopathic doctor, integrative doctor, or conventional medical doctor can be considered holistic if he or she focuses on the whole body, mind, and spirit in their medical practice.

Integrative medicine, however, is a model of healthcare that creates a personalized whole-health strategy using multiple care practices. It includes caring for the body holistically—mind, body, and soul—by bringing together conventional and complementary or alternative treatments for whole-person wellness.

How do Holistic & Alternative Medicine Work Together?

Holistic alternative medicine approach and belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, emotions, and environment, they complement each other well in healthcare.

Finding an alternative, holistic medicine practitioner provides you with a way to manage and ease current symptoms. It is also a phenomenal approach for restoring and maintaining the health of your mind, body, and spirit for life.

Making the transition to a medical practice that encompasses holistic, and alternative medicine means your healthcare provider is not just the person you see when you are sick—they are your partner in lifelong health and wellness. This means you and your practitioner will work together to bring your body, mind, and spirit into balance to achieve and maintain optimal health and wellness.
