Naturopathic Wisdom - Marlo Payne Thurman - Bog

Over the past 50 years, there have been some dramatic changes in how children are raised, fed, and educated. In looking at both child-rearing practices and children's education, one of the most obvious changes is this as a society, we seem to have lost our most basic common sense about the natural relationship between physical wellness and mental health, and in so doing we've forgotten how interconnected we really are to the natural world around us. Isn't it concerning that 1 in every 10 children take a medication that has a significant and often unknown impact on their development in cognitive and neurological maturation? As has always been true, children need good food, adequate sleep, plenty of fresh air and sunshine, and opportunities for physical work, play, and exercise. With these observations in mind, Naturopathic Wisdom provides a common sense roadmap for the implementation of safe naturopathic practices that are desperately needed for struggling children and teens. More specifically, this book will: Highlight relevant aspects of the author's own illness-to-wellness storyShare professional observations and insights gained from a mental health practice of 30+ yearsPropose simple, safe, naturopathic interventions for the physical and mental health conditions in children and teensDetail the research that supports these practices
