Integrative Medicine: A term that when applied to hospitals and institutions means that holistic modalities, such as, acupuncture, herbal medicine, chiropractic care, mind- body medicine, also called Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) are integrat- ed into a conventional medical model. See
https://www.aihm.org for more information.
Other holistic systems of medicine that
have been around for thousands of years and can be practiced by physician and non- physician practitioners include, Acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine, herbal medicine, and energy medicine. There are many additional options to choose from in terms of health and wellness. Begin with the questions: What do I need to be healthy and well? What am I doing that is harming my health and wellness? Why? And consider an old Cherokee story that ap- plies to our body as well as our minds:
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.”
"One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.”
"The other is good - he is joy, peace,
love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, be- nevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.”
"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"
The old chief simply replied, "The one you feed."
