INTEGRATIVE HEALTH

 PROVIDING OPTIMAL PATIENT SUPPORT AND ENSURING THAT LISTENING AND CARING ARE THE CORNERSTONES OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

“Integrative health is a transdisciplinary approach that combines conventional medicine with various non-drug therapies, all aimed at enhancing quality of life and overall well-being.

Integrative health combines all areas of healthcare. Health is not only seen as the absence of disease, nor the silence of the organs, as Paul Valéry suggested. It takes into consideration all its components – physical, mental, social, sexual, emotional and environmental – through a conscious and clearly defined method.

The methodology goes against conventional healthcare approaches, and connects what are sometimes complex isolated elements. It establishes relationships between elements that are usually considered separately. With our well-developed healthcare systems, seeing connections between various elements is not only a privilege but a duty as well.

Similarly, shining a light on contradictions among ideas that have not yet been connected is definitely the best way to “decompartmentalise” health, because the isolated truths that each expert identifies are not connected, or do not take into account the knowledge and attitudes of the others.

The integrative process brings all the dimensions and players in healthcare together. An ideal healthcare system is one in which all the elements are linked; a philosophy in which concepts, ideas and principles are interconnected, making the system into a unit, an entire operational whole that is connected and inseparable.

Inseparable does not mean that it cannot be broken down into different areas, but that all the composite ideas are interdependent. Health is not a collection of definitions, a juxtaposition or a mosaic of individual and self-contained ideas.”
