Pediatrics in Review is happy to present a new series. It is difficult to define complementary and alternative medicine, but one perspective would be to include methods of treating or preventing disease or improving wellness that have arisen from sources of experience and research different from those traditionally taught in most medical schools and that have not been incorporated into current practice by traditional practitioners. Many of these therapies have arisen from the background of herbal use.The series was proposed by Dr Sunita Vohra, Director of the Complementary and Alternative Research and Education Program at the University of Alberta, Canada, and the initial articles will be written by Dr Vohra and her colleagues in cooperation with the Provisional Section on Contemporary, Holistic, and Integrative Medicine of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAPSCHIM).
