-
Patient empowerment: Integrative medicine empowers you to take an active role in your healthcare journey. It encourages you to become educated and make informed decisions about your health.
It's important to note that integrative medicine does not reject conventional medicine but rather complements it, aiming to provide a more comprehensive and patient-centered approach to healthcare.
