FAQ

We recommend starting with the Integrative and Holistic Medicine consultation, where a general check-up of the health status of each person is conducted. The internal state of the body is evaluated and the biggest existing imbalances are detected. Following this, a set of specific treatments can be recommended according to the health status of each one.

Absolutely! Ideally, Integrative Medicine is meant as a preventive measure to catch an imbalance before it occurs.

Please, yes! Your time is valuable. An appointment is the best way that we can guarantee that your time is not wasted.

Although both are practiced by licensed medical professionals, in Western medicine the health problem is often seen as an isolated, invasive agent that must be removed and fought at all costs. Another characteristic of allopathic (classical) medicine is that most of its treatments only address the symptoms and not the root of the problem. Conventional treatments are usually chemical (drugs and chemotherapy), surgical and radiation (radiotherapy) based. Aspects such as diet, emotions and lifestyle habits are often ignored in the treatment. For its part, Integrative Medicine, in addition to conventional classical knowledge, draws much of its knowledge from other forms of treatment (Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Herbal Medicine, Osteopathy, Kinesiology, Homeopathy, Aromatherapy, etc.) in order to offer a more complete treatment to the patient. In an integrative approach, the disease state is not seen as an isolated entity, but rather a manifestation of a weakened body. In order to address the root of the problem, Integrative Medicine seeks beyond the relief of symptoms, the correction of the source of the problem so that it does not return. To achieve these results, Integrative Medicine most often prefers to resort to natural treatments that, instead of weakening the body's vital energy, make it stronger and more resistant so that it can, by itself, correct any dysfunction.
