Integrative and holistic medicine can help many individuals who suffer from chronic diseases.  A qualified healthcare professional can help navigate the person’s health plan, incorporating western medicine as well as holistic and alternative therapies.  This will ensure the medical safety of the patient and lead the patient to the proper medications and therapies.

The article, “How Functional Medicine May Help With Chronic Illnesses” by Katharine S. reviews some of the benefits of holistic medications.  She states,

“Functional medicine is a holistic approach that strives to maximize health and wellness by working on the optimal functioning of all human organs. It recognizes that each person is unique, from genetics to biological makeup.   Functional medicine is said to help those who have chronic conditions by changing their lifestyles and taking nutritional supplements. Functional medicine can be used to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from various types of medical conditions. It can be used to treat pain and other conditions like arthritis, cancer, depression, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stress, and sleep disorders.”
