Nature's Pharmacy for Children: Drug-Free Alternatives for More Than 200 Childhood Ailments

We really value this book. It is a real reference book, organized alphabetically by disease or problem, which is one reason it has gotten a lot of use. The depth and breadth is wonderful. You can find a summary of "conventional treatment" or "drug treatment" followed by paragraphs on "homeopathic," "Chinese Herbal Remedies," and/or "home treatment." There's just a ton of information here -- and it is about CHOICES not about dictating things to you. However, it is also readable. Paging through it has confirmed things I picked up from other sources and taught me new things. And there's even an entry for "BAD MOODS (see Anger.)"

I borrowed this book from the library and now I must have my own copy. It analyzes treatments not only from holistic perspective but chinese remedies and conventional remedies. It also gives suggestions on what products is best for the ailment. IT is written by a panel of expert instead of from a single source. After reading this among a stack of similar books addressing using natural remedies w/ children, this is definitely my favorite and the natural remedies REALLY does work!!
