Abstract

India is a very rich country in terms of ancient cultural practices. Modifying dietary practices and using some plant-based products for the treatment of various diseases are described in ancient Indian books. Also, there is huge diversity in dietary and nutritional practices across the nation from north to south and east to west. Various dietary products are being used orally or locally at the sites in affected areas. Various dietary remedies are being used in childhood illness by parents and grandparents of children for symptomatic relief and for curing the illness. Many of these dietary practices are also being practiced by pediatricians and general physicians. Many of these dietary practices are scientifically proven; however, some of the unscientific dietary practices are still practiced by some pediatricians and general physicians. In this mini-review article, we will discuss myths and facts about milk and milk products used for gastrointestinal and liver illness in children.
