Integrative Medicine For Children Is "a Useful Reference For A Medical Library."

According to a new review published in The Ulster Medical Journal, the Integrative Medicine for Children is "a useful reference for a medical library." The book aims to help caregivers safely and effectively prescribe complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies along with standard treatment. It is divided into two main parts. The first section covers a wide range of CAM therapies that are most commonly used among children, including hypnosis, massage, nutrition and Qi gong. Natural Standard authored chapter seven: Herbs and Biological Agents. In this chapter, the history, theory, evidence and safety of Chinese herbs are comprehensively presented. The second section of the book covers more than 50 of the most common childhood conditions, first with a focus on conventional diagnostic and treatment information, then with authoritative information on the most effective and evidence-based CAM therapies available for treatment of the condition. In the review article, Nuala M Flanagan states that the reference book "certainly offers an encyclopedic base to broaden knowledge of CAM and would be a useful starting point for further research into CAM options available for a specific patient."
