  Revised, updated and expanded to reflect the latest thinking and information on children's health issues, Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child (2nd Ed) enables parents to combine the best of conventional and alternative approaches. Part 1 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 2 contains a comprehensive A-Z guide to the various health problems of childhood - from chickenpox to thumb-sucking. Part 3 offers guidance on using the therapies and procedures suggested in Part 2, from locating acupressure points to preparing herbal remedies. Written by a naturopathic physician, a medical doctor and a paediatric 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-honoured healing systems and mainstream medicine. Illustrated with line art, the book includes a glossary, bibliography and index.
