Seeing health care as a systemic vision allows us to integrate the different types of treatments that help us take into account the relationships between different sectors of the health care system, which connects us to see the human being as a system and do not see it as it is today, as part of systems to which they belong and with which it is in continuous relationship.
Health professionals should have a greater view of the diversity of treatments where complementary therapies are included as part of health care.
Complementary medicine includes various philosophical orientations and many of these have a broad scientific and cultural foundation. However, much of the epistemological basis of its application is not yet fully known, nor is it taken into account from the point of view of medical practice.
Today, we are in the midst of a severe and decisive crisis. On the one hand, public admiration for the scientific and technological advances of medicine. However, there is also a public discontent with those who practice medicine at the interpersonal level, which has increased the demand for complementary medicine.
