What is Integrative
Pharmacy
We combine conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary medicines to provide your whole family with safe, effective, and holistic health care.
Integrative pharmacy is a patient-centered approach in which healthcare providers and patients shift their focus towards physical wellness, mental wellness, and optimal health instead of focusing on the treatment of symptoms. We combine conventional medicines, complementary medicines and practices, and counselling therapy to provide your whole family with safe and effective holistic care.
Many high-level medical institutes, such as the Cleveland Clinic and Harvard University, have adopted integrative medicines and are incorporating the principles of integrative medicine into their healthcare practices.
No matter their age, our team believes that our unique approach to integrative medicine can help our patients take back control of their lives. By focusing on illness prevention, health optimization and counselling therapy, our team can identify and resolve issues before they progress into more problematic illnesses and traumas. Many of our patients have seen improvements in many facets of their life, including relationships, overall wellbeing, mood, and stamina.
