Pediatrics is concerned with the health of infants, children and adolescents, their growth and development, and their opportunity to achieve full potential as adults, usually from birth to 21 years of age. Alternative paediatric care focuses on the principles of wellness and the safe restoration of health, promoting an understanding of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being as essential ingredients in family wellness. This approach is dedicated to integrating care that utilizes natural methods to stimulate healing, recover balance, and support the body’s own innate potential for well-being.
