Integrative Pediatric Medicine uses supplements (vitamins, minerals, herbs), personalized lifestyle changes, dietary guidance, mind-body medicine suggestions (meditation, breathing exercises, guided imagery), referrals to other practitioners if needed (acupuncture, homeopathy, therapists) This approach puts the patient at the center and addresses the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental influences that affect a person’s health. It treats the individual rather than the disease.
