Summary of article contents:

One of the Ayurvedic branches that focus on treating the pediatric age group is called 'Balachikitsa.' Kerala tradition has a noteworthy contributory role in pediatrics and its evidence is available through regional Kerala texts. “Sambradayika Balachikitsa” is a true example of this tradition. Traditional medicine is usually kept secret. But quite different from that, Dr. P.K.V. Anand, the author, tried to share his knowledge and experience through the book “Sambradayika Balachikitsa”. This review highlights the traditional pediatrics practice in Kerala, providing information about the author, text, characteristics & innovations. The author has tried to gather maximum information about traditional methods that prevailed in his tradition and give vivid explanations for treatment methods that are unfamiliar to the current scientific community.
