What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative medicine refers to the practice of conventional medicine combined with evidence-based complementary therapies. It is, rather, an approach tailored to meet the needs of specific patients, promoting general health while warding off future complications. One should be clear that Integrated Medicine does not mean one doctor practices multiple systems of medicine. Rather, it means that doctors of different systems join together and help each other with various concepts and practices concerned with the medicine they are qualified in, all for the benefit of patients.

  • It encompasses practices such as:
  • Conventional medicine
  • Acupuncture
  • Ayurveda
  • Naturopathy
  • Yoga and Meditation

Gleneagles Hospital uses integrative medicine to improve the patient’s health status and to enhance the patient’s recovery. This combines the best of both worlds, adding pharmacological methods to conventional methods to improve the management of many medical conditions.

Integrative Medicine Therapies

The Department of Integrative Medicine also offers a variety of therapeutic options that complement traditional medical treatment.

Acupuncture

It is placing fine needles on specific points in the body to stimulate the healing process; this is how acupuncture works. It is effective for pain, tension and other chronic discomforts.

Ayurveda

Ayurveda considers using herbal medicine, diet and lifestyle changes as a way of restoring balance to the body. It is very beneficial for musculoskeletal and digestive disorders.

Naturopathy

Naturopathy focuses on natural medicines, food, exercise, and detoxification to assist the body's inherent healing potential.

Yoga and Meditation

All of these habits improve physical fitness, decrease stress, and improve mental clarity. They fit very well with our all-encompassing approach to wellness.

Benefits of Integrative Medicine

Integrative medicine incorporates both conventional and alternative approaches. It is an all-inclusive and patient’s special focus-oriented approach to treatment. The benefits of integrative medicine are numerous:

  • Holistic Approach: Integrative medicine looks at the mind, body, and spirit. It is more about general wellness than just the illness or the symptoms of the illness.
  • Personalised Care Plans: Treatment plans are tailored to each patient's needs. To create a holistic recovery plan, lifestyle, environment, and genetics are taken into account.

    Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is integrative medicine, and how does it differ from conventional medicine?

    Integrative medicine provides pain relief through the use of common holistic practices such as yoga and acupuncture. It mainly focuses on prevention through general wellness by a holistic approach to treating the mind, body and spirit.

  • Are integrative therapies safe to use?

    Yes, integrating techniques into therapy performed by specialists is safe most of the time. All therapies used at Gleneagles Hospitals are evidence-based and tailored to individual patient’s requirements, ensuring and enhancing the safety and effectiveness of the treatment while complementing mainstream methods of patient management.

  • Will hospitalisation be necessary for all integrative treatments?

    No, hospitalisation is not necessary for every integrative treatment. Many treatments, such as yoga, acupuncture, and nutritional consultation, are provided on an outpatient basis. Independent, acute, full inpatient care, however, may be required for specific medical conditions to ensure that a patient is constantly monitored and receives comprehensive individualised coordinated care plans.

  • Can integrative medicine be used alongside conventional treatments?

    It is true that integrative medicine improves conventional treatment strategies. When combined, it enhances the efficacy of therapy, reduces side effects, and accelerates the healing process. It is especially useful in long-standing cases and/or when a patient is receiving much therapy such as chemotherapy.
