How Integrative Healing Works
At Hana Holistic Medical Center, we integrate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) into modern healthcare, offering a holistic approach to treating the mind, body, and spirit. Our services, ranging from acupuncture and herbal medicine to therapeutic massage, address various health concerns, including chronic pain, mental health issues like anxiety, and the side effects of treatments like chemotherapy.
Our approach not only enhances physical health but also offers a cost-effective alternative to expensive pharmaceutical medications. This is particularly beneficial for individuals on fixed incomes, such as the elderly and those with chronic conditions.
We focus on reducing the dependency on prescription drugs, which often have adverse side effects. For example, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy may experience debilitating side effects, which our holistic treatments like Acupuncture can help alleviate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between functional medicine and integrative medicine?
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of diseases, typically through a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. Integrative medicine, on the other hand, combines both conventional and alternative therapies to treat the whole person – not just the disease. It emphasizes patient-centred care and considers all factors that influence health, wellness, and disease.
Is integrative medicine worth it?
Many find integrative medicine valuable as it offers a more holistic approach to healthcare. It emphasizes the importance of the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic and lifestyle approaches to achieve optimal health and healing.
What are the 5 domains of integrative medicine?
The five domains of integrative medicine include:
-
Biological-Based Practices: This involves the use of substances found in nature, like herbs, foods, and vitamins.
-
Mind-Body Medicine: Techniques designed to enhance the mind’s ability to affect bodily functions and symptoms.
-
Manipulative and Body-Based Practices: These are based on manipulation and/or movement of one or more parts of the body.
-
Energy Medicine: Involves the use of energy fields.
-
Whole Medical Systems: These are complete systems of theory and practice that have evolved independently from or parallel to allopathic (conventional) medicine.
What is the difference between holistic and integrative medicine?
While both holistic and integrative medicine approaches aim to treat the whole person, holistic medicine is a part of integrative medicine. Holistic medicine emphasizes the connection of mind, body, and spirit. Integrative medicine goes a step further to include all aspects of a person’s lifestyle and incorporates a variety of modalities in treatment plans, including conventional and alternative methods.
