4 Medical integration
Medicine is an art as well as a science.As a science, it relies on systematic studies and experiments to explore conditions that may cause physical discomfort, and on empirical evidence to provide treatment for those conditions.As art, this medical practice also affects people's emotional, psychological, and social attitudes.There is an old saying that the healer, that is, the real doctor is a person who can directly affect people's emotions and heal people's hearts.
When we feel unwell, we go to see the doctor.Depending on which part of the body is not feeling well, we go to a doctor who specializes in treating specific parts of the body.Usually, doctors, especially western medicine, focus on symptom relief and the treatment of specific diseases.While this can save lives, there is no immediate relief or cure for some chronic diseases and conditions.
Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine refers to the use of all types of therapy, even outside the scope of conventional medicine
For example, cancer treatment centers often offer comprehensive health programs, including nutrition, mental health, acupuncture and meditation, to help treat all aspects of cancer patients.
Integrated Chinese and Western medicine is synonymous with complementary medicine. It's just a technical difference.
Many associations and health institutions prefer to use the term "complementary health therapy" when discussing and studying practices and related treatments for a variety of health conditions.
It includes practices such as:
Prescription drugs
surgery
acupuncture
Nutrition therapy
Aromatherapy treatment
Mental health counseling
herbs
massage
yoga
Many of these great treatments from the East may not provide immediate relief, but they can work for the long term to strengthen the immune system and thus put the body in a better position to fight disease.These can also help clients mitigate the stressful effects of existing medical conditions.
The combination of Chinese and western medicine treats the whole person, not just the disease itself.The aim of integrated Chinese and Western medicine is to make people feel better by integrating mental and physical health.
Migraine sufferers can see a doctor and get a brain scan. Then, the doctor prescribes the medicine.Through integrative medicine, they can get help with meditation exercises or pain management.
This way, patients can take medication for migraines, but they can also control their pain by practicing relaxation techniques
Studies have shown that yoga and meditation can help relieve pain.Patients can also use essential oils (aromatherapy) to feel a sense of calm to help relieve pain.
Acupuncture also helps stimulate the nerves and helps control pain.
