What are the types?

CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE

It is a system in which medical doctors and other healthcare professionals (nurses, pharmacists, and therapists) treat symptoms and diseases using drugs, radiation, or surgery.

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

This term describes medical treatments that are used instead of traditional (mainstream) therapies.

Examples: acupuncture, chiropractic, energy treatment, reiki, herbal medicine, homeopathy, etc.

COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE

This is a modern approach that uses conventional and alternative medicine to diagnose and treat symptoms.

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

This is a scientifically proven approach that focuses on the disease’s roots and prevention with treatment for the patient rather than the illness itself.

INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE

This approach uses an evidence-based approach to treat the whole person: mind, body, and soul. 

All needs are involved: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, so it uses a combination of therapies. It “integrates” conventional approaches and complementary therapies to achieve optimal health and healing.
