Vaccines, Plant-Based Options, and Holistic Health: How to Find Balance in Pediatric Care

Here at the Franz Center, our goal is total health for every child, adult, and family in our care. Backed by more than 30 years of experience providing holistic pediatric care, we’re here to support parents in making informed decisions about vaccines for children, which supplements are best for their kids, and more. Here’s how we help families achieve a balanced approach to holistic healthcare for kids.

Answering Questions, Respecting Choice

When it comes to vaccines for children, there’s plenty of information (and misinformation) out there. Our healthcare professionals create a safe space for parents to ask questions about pediatric vaccines and make decisions accordingly.

In short, the Franz Center is a “vaccine-friendly” practice. We support parental choice and assist you in finding the best schedule, or no schedule, for your child. We also provide protection through homeopathy.

We regularly discuss and answer vaccine questions parents have to help them decide what is best for their children and healthcare goals. Learning about the family history is an integral part of this process to assess hidden medical risks. Demystifying the misinformation and helping parents make their best choice is one of our strengths.

Incorporating Plant-Based Options

Herbaceuticals and homeopathic remedies are successfully used daily to facilitate healing and wellness. Our products have been used for centuries/millennia with consistent results the world over. When developing safe, gentle remedies for children, supplements may be recommended for immune support, emotional regulation, easing cold symptoms, and more.

We’ve seen the benefit of reducing usage of pharmaceuticals on growth, development, and the immune system. We only recommend what works herbaceuticals, homeopathic remedies, and other nontraditional protocols are often less expensive than pharmaceuticals. They can be effective for short-term symptom relief while we provide additional care that addresses the root cause of their illness and facilitates restoration of health.

Plus, reducing the need for pharmaceutical intervention reduces unpleasant side effects that can lead to other health issues. We help families interested in holistic healthcare for kids to develop a care plan that works with their child’s body and mind so they become their happiest, healthiest selves.

Caring Guidance for Healthy Lifestyles

When we provide holistic pediatric care, we get to know children and families. We never rush through an intake or appointment, and we consider lifestyle a major contributing factor to children’s physical, mental, and spiritual health. For example, what kids eat may boost their immunity, and finding small ways to practice mindfulness as a family can significantly reduce symptoms of pediatric anxiety. And a greater focus on preventative care can improve health outcomes overall.

If you’ve been feeling like there’s something missing from traditional pediatric care, we’d love to answer your questions and share the many benefits of a holistic approach to well-being. We incorporate a balanced approach between eastern and western medical care, treating all the body’s systems with care and attention.

Our dedicated, like-minded professionals are committed to providing the best possible care while listening carefully to your needs, questions, and concerns. Contact us to learn more and start your child and family on a journey to total health.
