Abstract
Integrating conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies creates a comprehensive approach to healing. It is used worldwide to treat illnesses and improve health. The World Health Organisation recognises these treatments as significant and expanding globally. Integrative medicine, which promotes holistic healing, aligns well with the principles of Islam. Despite its growing popularity, there is limited scholarly exploration of integrative medicine through the lens of Islamic perspectives, which encompass a rich traditional medical practice deeply rooted in religious teachings. This quantitative-qualitative analysis used bibliometric and content analytics to investigate integrative medicine literature trends in Scopus. Based on bibliometric performance study of 1466 papers, the US, China, India, and Iran are the most productive integrative medicine research centres with the most relevant institutions. An in-depth review of integrative medicine research's growth will help healthcare practitioners grasp the issue and stimulate empirical research to improve integrative patient care.
