All three elements are equally significant, therefore, they ought to receive equal medical care and attention, with the goal of creating a sustainable healthy balance between them. This wellness-balance between the three fundamental elements of the human nature is the secret to good health, joy and contentment in life.

Medical treatment by Integrative Medicine methods includes:

Physical treatment of the body – raising and maintaining high body vitality in order to awaken the body’s self-healing power and to boost the body’s natural immunity capacity in the face of diseases and illnesses resulting form internal as well as external sources.

Emotional therapy – resolving emotional conflicts as well as hidden or exposed unprocessed or untreated traumas.
