1GreetingWelcomeDear colleagues and congress participants,
Welcome to the 4th European Congress for Integrative Medicine that takes place in conjunction with the 4th German Congress for Integrative Medicine again under the motto “The Future of Comprehensive Patient Care” in Berlin. The congress offers an innovative platform for
medical practitioners and healthcare professionals as well as scientists, sponsors, and healthpoliticians. The aim is to actively influence the development of the best possible health care.
Besides internationally renowned experts in the field of Integrative Medicine, medical practitioners from outpatient and inpatient settings are invited to participate in a lively exchangeof ideas. Integrative medicine combines conventional western medicine with complementary
methods of treatment such as naturopathy, homoeopathy, and acupuncture.
The topics of the congress are characterised by the interdisciplinary cooperation which reachbeyond the traditional approaches of medicine.
The 3rd European Congress for Integrative Medicine in 2010 was another step to further establish Integrative Medicine. More than 500 participants were involved over 3 days in a lively
exchange. Excellent speakers, high quality contributions and a fruitful networking of scienceand medical practice allowed prolific conditions to continue the congress in the future.
More than 400 scientists from various areas of expertise, medical practitioners, as well as
health policy officials from 26 countries were discussing the future of optimal health care,which can essentially be ameliorated by expanding Integrative Medicine. For this reason we
invite you once again this year to obtain an overview of the current state and the possibilities
and future regarding optimal patient care.

A healthy body functions based on the complex network of many different
bioregulatory systems. When injury or illness strikes, this network breaks down.
Heel medicines combine several ingredients from natural origins to target multiple interrelated bioregulatory systems within the body. This multi-component
and multi-target approach helps restore the physiological network. And because
our low-dose medicines have a regulating and modulating effect, they achievea high level of efficacy with a low risk of side effects.
