About Us
Advancing evidence-informed natural medicine that supports whole person health
The Institute for Natural Medicine (INM) is a leading advocate for evidence-informed natural treatments and whole person approaches to health. As an independent nonprofit organization with more than 30 years of history, INM connects the public, practitioners, and policymakers to trustworthy information on natural health and wellness therapies, including clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, and preventive lifestyle-based interventions.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to reversing chronic disease in the United States by elevating integrative, whole person health and the providers who deliver it into mainstream health systems.
Our mission is to bring whole person health to the mainstream, merging the best of medical science with safe and effective natural treatments.
We support proactive, integrative, and comprehensive approaches to health that address the full wellness spectrum, encompassing physical, behavioral, emotional, social, and environmental factors.
