An Encyclopedia of Natural Healing for Children and Infants

I really enjoyed this book. It met and exceeded my expectations and gave me confidence in preparing remedies for my own children. I especially liked the dosage formulas for children which will be helpful when coming across remedies from other sources.I absolutely plan to use this book in my doula practice and make it available in my lending library for postpartum clients. Many of my clients have expressed a desire to use homeopathic remedies for their children so I know they will be interested in this book too.This book was absolutely a valuable learning tool for me. I love that it focused on herbs and dosing safe for children. I feel like it takes the guesswork out of treating my kids.

When I first received this book I was disappointed b/c it wasn't what I thought it was for some reason. HOWEVER, I have come to really like this book. It is better than your average childhood health reference by topic. She explains well HOW to use the remedy and most layman simple reference books don't do such a great job with that. She shares quite a few recipes for remedies, so she doesn't just give you a list of what to give them but rather goes beyond that by telling you how to use and apply the remedy. This is organized very well and has become one of my first quick reference go to guides.

I am a 3rd year naturopathic medical student. I recently purchased this book for clinic and future practice. I have used it several times on my pediatric rotations and absolutely love it! Many of the treatment protocols I have suggested to my shift supervisor have come from this book and have been exactly what my supervising physicians would have recommended! Easy to follow recipes and therapies listed by ailment as well as general health guidelines for infants and children. I would highly recommend for medical students, physicians and parents alike!!

I wish there were more options for healing in this book...it seems to all be tinctures or things that take a LOT of prepping ahead of time...tinctures take weeks/months to make. Other than that, I really like this book.

I found this book well organized, easy to follow, and with herbal suggestions that are readily available. This make a good reference for people wanting to be aware of alternative options or those folks interested in making their own natural remedies. I was so pleased with the book that I bought a second a gift for my daughter-in-law, a mother of five!

Mary Bove has done a masterful job in creating a comprehensive resource for both parents and practitioners. Before subjecting your children to dangerous long-term medications, this book should be considered "first-line therapy." Parents should challange their children's doctors and practitioners should think about the consequences of the overuse of dangerous drug therapy. This book is a great place to start.
