Book Abstract
Integrative Pediatrics: Merging Conventional and Complementary Care offers a comprehensive, clinically oriented synthesis of holistic practice and conventional treatment. By focusing on wellness foundations, evidence-reviewed complementary modalities, and condition-based integrative protocols, it empowers providers to deliver safe, personalized, and effective pediatric care that aligns with family preferences and scientific standards.
Recognizing that many families already use complementary approaches alongside conventional pediatric care, Integrative Pediatrics outlines a balanced, evidence-informed model that bridges holistic therapies and standard medical practice
Initial chapters present integrative principles and core lifestyle elements?nutrition (including essential supplements like omega 3s, vitamin?D, probiotics), physical activity, sleep hygiene, stress resilience, and environmental health?as cornerstones for promoting lifelong child wellness.
Clinicians are guided through a scientifically grounded review of botanical remedies, manual therapies, aromatherapy, mind body approaches, and whole medical systems?highlighting safety, dosing, contraindications, and integration with conventional treatments.
