What is Integrative Health?
Integrative health, sometimes referred to as integrative medicine, is a practice that focuses on the whole person, making use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals, and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing. The body of research literature about integrative health practices has grown significantly in recent years, particularly on acupuncture, yoga, nutrition, and mindfulness practices.
Use of integrative medicine is widespread. The 2017 National Health Interview Survey, a nationwide survey conducted by the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, found that use of integrative health practices like yoga and meditation among both adults and children has significantly increased over previous years.
