This approach acknowledges that the body functions as a complex and integrated system, where imbalance is in one area can impact the overall health of the individual.

abilities, and by supporting and enhancing these natural processes, optimal health can be achieved.

The emphasis is not only identifying entreating existing health issues but also on preventing illness and promoting overall wellness through proactive and personalized interventions.

conventional medical treatments, complementary and alternative therapies. It combines evidence based conventional medical care with complementary approaches, fostering a collaborative and patient centered approach to health care. This model encourages open communication between patients and doctors, empowering individuals to actively participate in their own health and treatment decisions.
