Integrative Medicine Using the Examples of:
The Hospital for Naturopathy, Munich
And LIMed

Report from Robert Schmidt, MD

SUMMARY

The most important principle of integrative medicine is the combination of conventional medicine and complementary medicine into a meaningful overall concept. The goal is to find the best individual therapy for the patients and to reduce side effects as much as possible. The decisive factor here is also explicitly the patients, who should be enabled to actively and responsibly participate in decision-making about an overall medical concept for their treatment. This article presents two examples with the Hospital for Naturopathic Medicine and the List of Integrative Medicine (LIMed) which advocate the combination of conventional and complementary medicine in public and in practice.

Keywords: Integrative Medicine, Complementary Medicine, Conventional Medicine, KfN Munich, List of Integrative Medicine (LIMed).
