Integrative Medicine is a blend of conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies, health education and prevention programs. It represents an effort to provide care not just for a person's physical needs but for the mind and for the spirit as well. The New England Journal of Medicine in 1993 published a study which found one in three Americans used some type of non-traditional treatment.
Experts believe that number has since doubled.
Aromatherapy, acupuncture, herbalism, vitamin supplements and other food supplements, massage weight control efforts, yoga and more are part of this expanding area of health care. Old and new healing techniques are integrated to enhance a person's well being, often preventing health problems before they manifest themselves.
