Healing the Whole Person: An Introduction to Integrative Medicine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648344353)

Integrative medicine combines mainstream medicine with evidence-based complementary medicine to achieve optimal outcomes in health improvement, prevention and treatment of illness.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the most important factors leading to the development of illness relate to behavioural issues. A key part of integrative medicine has to do with why a person has developed their illness, hence providing the best opportunity for the patient's healing.

Healing the Whole Person explores a range of (these) human factors such as loneliness, happiness, grief, stress, forgiveness, anger etc., and offers practical advice on how to resolve these issues. It provides a road map for the 'whole person' approach.

This book offers us simple, effective ways we can all follow to improve our lifestyle for health optimisation and personal growth. It provides a road map for the 'whole person' approach, which offers the best that all medicine has to offer.
