Pediatrics holds a significant place in the history of Chinese medicine, dating back to the early first millennium. Over the centuries, there has been continuous advancement in diagnosing and treating childhood illnesses. Chinese physicians of previous generations have identified unique characteristics common to all children. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), encompassing modalities like herbal medicine, acupuncture, Chinese massage, and dietary therapy, has been addressing children's health issues for over 2,000 years. Today, TCM stands as the world's oldest and second-largest medical system, serving a quarter of the global population. Unlike Western medicine, TCM views each individual holistically, focusing on the person rather than solely on a disease or symptom. It is a noninvasive healing approach that restores harmony and balance to the entire person, leveraging the body's innate ability to heal itself. In TCM, children are not seen as miniature adults but rather as physiologically and functionally immature. Many common pediatric ailments are attributed to this immaturity. According to Chinese medicine, children's inherent physical weakness makes them prone to conditions affecting the lungs (such as colds, coughs, allergies, and asthma) and the spleen (including colic, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, and stomach aches). Research indicates that TCM offers significant clinical benefits, especially for patients who have not responded well to other treatments. Unlike modern medicine, TCM treatments have fewer side effects and aim to eliminate the underlying pathology of the disease rather than simply managing symptoms. While Western medicine often focuses on reactive symptom management, TCM takes a proactive approach by considering the body's overall function. This proactive stance not only enhances effectiveness but also minimizes the risk of long-term medication side effects associated with Western treatments.

The Second Edition of this book is a rearranged and enriched version of the previous edition, composed of feedback and constructive comments from readers. Acupuncture is the most popular form of treatment in Chinese medicine. The theories and practice of acupuncture have been revised and rewritten to give readers a clear idea of how it works and when it is to be utilized. Botanicals, i.e. herbal medicine, form the major core of Chinese medicine practice. The potential of botanicals development is wide: from casting specific biological activities to preventive uses. Three new chapters are offered: (i) for the understanding of the biological activities of herbal medicine, (ii) the products produced from herbs for specific needs, and (iii) the individual's choice for what may suit him/her best. In this present era of information technology, readers should be guided on the use of the Internet and related areas in order to independently secure information for personal use and research needs. The last chapter is provided for this practical purpose.Since the publication of the First Edition, much development has occurred in the field of Chinese medicine. All the chapters have been updated and revised accordingly so that general readers, those looking for effective treatment, as well as those who want to serve their patients better, can have a reliable comprehensive reference.
