January 23 is Integrative Medicine
January 23 is Integrative Medicine Day, a date that highlights the importance of healthcare that combines conventional medical practices with complementary therapies based on scientific evidence.
Integrative medicine focuses on treating the patient holistically, considering not only the physical aspects, but also the emotional, social and spiritual ones. Therapies such as acupuncture, meditation, yoga, herbal medicine and relaxation techniques are often incorporated into traditional medical treatment to promote well-being and quality of life.
The date was established to raise awareness about the benefits of this integrated approach, which seeks not only to treat diseases, but also to prevent health problems, promoting balance of body and mind. Healthcare institutions, organizations and professionals around the world hold events, lectures and workshops to promote integrative practices and educate the public about their effectiveness.
