Topical Collection Information
Evidence-Based Integrative medicine is an approach to care that puts the patient at the center and addresses the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a person’s health. Employing a personalized strategy that considers the patient’s unique conditions, needs and circumstances, it uses the most appropriate interventions from an array of scientific disciplines to heal illness and disease and help people regain and maintain optimum health. In many cases, as evidence of efficacy and safety grows, these therapies are being combined with conventional medicine.
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has great advantages in treating many diseases. It should be a new trend in treating epidemic diseases in the future. By Evidence-Based Integrative medicine, we can start to not only treat patients more effectively, but we can start to address the underlying lifestyle choices and emotional needs.
This special issue provides an open forum for researchers to share their research findings in the use of Evidence-Based Integrative medicine for epidemics disease. We welcome contributions in any form, including, original research, case report, review, etc.
