FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional medicine is similar to Ayurveda but is presented in western medical terms and is an individualized, patient-centred, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness.
The root cause is addressed rather than just the symptoms and is based on interactions between the environment and the gastrointestinal, endocrine and immune systems to develop an individualised treatment plan.
By addressing root causes, rather than symptoms, Sarah is able to identify the complexity of the disease. One condition can have different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, Functional Medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.
