About This Group
Grow integrative medicine seeds (zaadz!) and create community. Whether you are just learning about integrative medicine or have a full-time practice, please ask, teach and discover with us.
As inspired by Dr. Andrew Weil’s precepts, integrative medicine refers to:
- A partnership between patient and practitioner in the healing process
- Appropriate use of conventional...(more) and alternative methods to facilitate the body’s innate healing response
- Consideration of all factors that influence health, wellness and disease, including mind, spirit and community as well as body
- A philosophy that neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative medicine uncritically
- Recognition that good medicine should be based in good science, inquiry driven and open to new paradigms
- Use of natural, less invasive interventions whenever possible
- The broader concepts of promotion of health and the prevention of illness as well as the treatment of disease
- Practitioners as models of health and healing, committed to the process of self-exploration and self-development
