Pediatrics refers to a branch of medicine concerned with the care, growth and illnesses of children, newborns and adolescents. The rising occurrence of diseases like metabolic syndrome, mental illness, attention deficit disorder, cancer, asthma, obesity, autism, diabetes, chronic pain and other inflammatory-mediated illnesses has drastically changed the landscape of pediatrics. These changes also have a negative impact on younger age groups and children today confront major health issues which have increased the need for pediatricians having new abilities and a stronger emphasis on preventative health. This has led to the emergence of pediatric integrative medicine, which is the result of changing pediatric illness patterns and patient demands. Integrative pediatrics uses a combination of traditional and alternative therapies to develop a tailored plan that meet the requirements of each child, family and circumstance based on the best available research. The objective of this book is to present the latest researches on integrative pediatrics. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.
