| There's promising evidence that some complementary health approaches may be helpful for children and adolescents. For example, biofeedback, guided imagery, hypnosis, mindfulness, and yoga may be effective for stress and anxiety and are low risk. On the other hand, some dietary supplements may be risky for children. Their small size, developing organs, and immature immune systems may make them more vulnerable than adults to allergic or other adverse reactions to supplements. Before using a complementary health approach for your child, it's a good idea to ask the child's health care provider about its effectiveness and possible risks. And if you have teenagers in your household, remind them to talk to their health care providers about any complementary approaches they're using or planning to use. |
