Medicine has encountered unprecedented problems associated with changes in nature, society, and environment, as well as with new human quests for survival, longevity, and health. In the meantime, the development of medicine is facing challenges that resulted from the over-division and specialization of disciplines and the fragmentation of medical knowledge. To construct a new medical system that is more suitable for human health and disease treatment, holistic integrative medicine (HIM), which regards the human body as a holistic entity, organically integrates the most advanced knowledge and theories in each medical field and the most effective practices in various clinical specialties to revise and adjust on the basis of social, environmental, and psychological conditions. HIM is the inevitable and necessary direction for the future development of medicine. In this article, we illustrated the connotation of HIM, the differences between HIM and other medical conceptions, and the practice of HIM in recent years.
医学遇到了与自然、社会和环境变化以及人类对生存、长寿和健康的新追求相关的前所未有的问题。与此同时，医学的发展面临着由于学科的过度划分和专业化以及医学知识的碎片化而产生的挑战。为了构建一个更适合人类健康和疾病治疗的新医学体系，整体整合医学（HIM）将人体视为一个整体实体，有机地整合了每个医学领域的最先进的知识和理论，以及各种临床专业中最有效的实践，根据社会、环境和心理条件进行修正和调整。HIM 是医学未来发展的必然和必要方向。本文阐述了 HIM 的内涵、 HIM 与其他医学概念的区别以及 HIM 在近年来的实践。
