Holistic integrative medicine (HIM) has been officially propounded since 2012. Its theoretical system has continuously been improved, and its practical methods have become increasingly diverse, becoming an inevitable choice and path for medical development in the new era. This article demonstrates ten major propositions for HIM, elaborating on their connotations and extensions from the perspectives of epistemology and methodology, necessary for achieving modern medicine’s transformation and adaptive evolution.
