Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Revised, updated, and expanded to reflect the latest thinking and information on children's health issues, Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child enables parents to combine the best of conventional and alternative approaches. Part One explains the full spectrum of techniques that can be employed to effectively treat childhood health problems, providing an overview of the history, fundamentals, and uses of conventional medicine, herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupressure, diet, and nutritional supplementation. Part Two contains a comprehensive A-to-Z guide to the various health problems of childhood, from acne to chickenpox to thumb-sucking. Finally, Part Three offers guidance on using the therapies and procedures suggested in Part Two, from locating acupressure points to preparing herbal remedies.

Written by a naturopathic physician, a medical doctor, and a pediatric nurse, this unique book gives parents easy access to current information and advice regarding their children's health and acts as a bridge between time-honored healing systems and mainstream medicine. Illustrated with line art.

This is an outstanding book. I have referred to it countless times when my kids are sick. It has a great symptom section, so if you don't know exactly what's wrong, you can start there. I love that it includes conventional medicine as well as alternative therapies. It is also very clear on when you should call a doctor. It gives great things to do at home as well. It is a must have for any parent, and I buy it as a baby gift for any friend who is expecting.
