An Integrated Approach to Health

What does an integrated approach to health actually mean?

Integrated medicine combines both conventional medicine and complementary healing, with sound knowledge and a known safety profile. Attaining optimum health is about so much more than just eating healthily or popping pills.

This way of looking at health takes into consideration:

• diet
• lifestyle choices
• encourages the pursuit of an affordable, realistic and enjoyable exercise plan
• thought processes
• previous illnesses
• stress

Trying to do this on your own can feel like you are stuck in a maze of ideas, thoughts, advice and research.  Added to this many changes can be expensive and if you are not sure what is effective, you can end up with a large bill whilst being too afraidto stop any treatments. The temptation will be to give up.

However if you accept that this is a process and not a quick fix, it all  becomes more manageable.

A prescribed herbal medicine may:

• Support your nervous system to help you cope with mood fluctuations and stress levels
• Improve your vitality so you have enough energy to face your day to day life
• Help your body manage stress and enhance resistance to stress
• Support your liver function to help you eliminate the excess hormones that are causing troublesome symptoms
• Help your body balance hormonal activity in the face of changing hormone levels
