Mind-body medicine emphasizes the importance of addressing psychological, emotional, and social factors alongside physical symptoms and diseases. The underlying principle of mind-body medicine is that the mind and body are not separate entities but rather interconnected and mutually influencing. This means that our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and attitudes can have a profound impact on our physical health, and vice versa. Happy and successful marriages are based on mutual respect, understanding, love, care and healthy sexual life. It is all the more important that these problems be solved in the context of the stress and strain of modern life. We in CIMAR focus on the total wellbeing of mind and body.
