''It is an encryption of my experiences that I have gathered in the last fifteen years practicing as a General Ayurveda Physician and as a Paediatrician, in specific.I have sincerely put in my efforts to simplify this work in terms of my observations as well as the principles of ayurveda to customise to the need of the students.I do not claim this work to be complete in itself.But I hope this will be a beginning for a better cause. I sincerely thank Vasudevi Publications for arranging all the technical help that was needed to bring it to the limelight.''
Clinical Paediatrics in Ayurveda by Dr. Dinesh K.S. is a clinically focused academic resource designed to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application in the field of Ayurvedic paediatrics (Kaumarbhritya). Rooted in over fifteen years of clinical experience and academic instruction, the book addresses the diagnostic and therapeutic dimensions of 31 commonly encountered pediatric conditions.
The text offers a structured, case-based approach integrating:
Dosha-Dooshya assessment
Differential diagnosis informed by both Ayurvedic and modern frameworks
Therapeutic guidelines, including medicine selection, dosage, and timing tailored for pediatric patients
Protocols for developmental disorders, including those adapted from the Kottakkal clinical tradition
Conditions covered include neurodevelopmental disorders (autism, Down syndrome), chronic illnesses (epilepsy, kidney disease), congenital anomalies, infectious conditions, nutritional deficiencies, and common pediatric complaints such as anorexia, diarrhoea, cough, and skin diseases.
The book provides practical insights into drug administration for children, with special notes on treatment principles, making it highly relevant for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Ayurveda, particularly in Kaumarbhritya, as well as for clinicians managing pediatric cases in Ayurveda practice.
