Integrative medicine and wellness clinics are often found outside the radius of hospitals.

What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative Medicine. The theory is that it can give a better result than our usual medical practices, as it aims for not just treating the symptom of your pain but getting to the root cause of things. Integrative medicine is a mix of the conventional medical practices with the added benefits of alternative approaches that work together and have shown high quality evidence-based effectiveness and safety.The theory I said earlier is already proven when treating UTI. What do we usually do and what do the doctors recommend when we have Urinary Track Infection?
- A doctor would prescribe an antibiotic of some dosage for you to take in say one or two weeks.
- We would attempt to hydrate by having more water
- we also take Coconut Water or Buko Juice to add to the hydration
The mix of having coconut water as a means of better hydration and combating UTI aside from the recommended antibiotic by our doctors is already integrative medicine. The alternative part being the buko juice, and the conventional medicine being the antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor.
