Advances in Integrative Medicine

Advances in Integrative Medicine introduces integrative medicine as a holistic approach to health that can effectively address the limitations and side effects of traditional allopathic treatments, providing valuable insights for practitioners and patients alike.

Today, people across the globe are experiencing the damaging side effects of allopathic medicines. In fact, not a single allopathic drug to date reports no side effects. In light of this, researchers are investigating new treatment alternatives that offer fewer side effects. Since ancient times, people have used various alternative medicines, such as traditional medicinal practices, homeopathy, and herbal medicine, to treat disease. In order for these alternative medicines to be used on a global level, they need to integrate with the modern medical system. Integrative medicine is a healing-oriented practice of medicine that looks at the whole picture of a person as a guide for treatment. This practice takes an individual’s mind, body, and soul into account to create a catered plan that includes nutrition, stress, and spiritual treatment. This treatment has shown potential to treat a number of diseases including stroke, chronic fatigue syndrome, and cancer. This book gives a comprehensive look at this emerging field through real-world case studies, making it an essential resource for anyone in the medical field.
