  • Title: Integrative medicine and asthma.
    Author: Mark JD.
    Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 2007 Dec; 54(6):1007-23; xii. PubMed ID: 18061788.
    Abstract:
    Childhood asthma is a spectrum of symptoms and clinical presentations. The treatment begins with developing goals of therapy for a child by the health care provider, the family, and the child as a team. The primary objective is to reduce symptoms and exacerbations using therapies that include conventional medications, environmental controls, and lifestyle modification while reducing the potential for adverse effects of medications and the disease. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) may play a role in meeting these objectives, and through the integration of conventional and CAM therapies, an integrative medicine approach may facilitate reaching these objectives in a more effective manner.
