Integrative paediatrics brings together the best of all medical treatment worlds by blending holistic, complementary, and alternative care with conventional medicine. It supports the inner capacity of the human mind and body to heal. Integrative paediatrics acknowledges that there is a place and time for various modes of medicine. Often, in emergency situations, state-of-the-art conventional medical care is needed to save lives. In other cases, from repeated common colds to a chronic autoimmune illness, a more gentle, holistic option is the way to go. In many countries integrative paediatrics is already blending into conventional hospital and out-patient care. Some examples are:
