Integrative medicine uses the best of the worlds of modern and traditional botanical medicine as well as the best from all other alternative forms of medicine. This may include Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Ayurvedic traditions, homeopathy or naturopathic medicine. If your healthcare professional is familiar with these approaches, she can choose the one most suited to your unique needs and perspectives. Functional medicine focuses on the most optimal functioning of the body with all its cells, tissues and organs, and looks at these functions holistically. The body can very often be healed, but a person will not feel all that much better unless the mind and the spirit are healed as well. In my hands, the mind, body and spirit are all listened to and addressed.
