SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT
Integrative Health World Health Organization Definitions

Traditional Medicine

Sum total of the knowledge, skill and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures, as well as scientific and professional expertise, used for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of illnesses and to promote health and well-being.

Complementary Medicine

Used interchangeably for “traditional medicine” in some countries, refers to a broad set of health care knowledge, skills and practices that are not typically part of a country’s established traditional or conventional medicine, and may play a supportive role in conjunction with biomedical care.

Integrative Medicine

Integrative medicine is an interdisciplinary and evidence-based approach to health and well-being by using a combination of biomedical and traditional and/or complementary medical knowledge, skills, and practices. It provides holistic care spanning the care continuum and may involve various health care providers and institutions.
