“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”
(Isaac Newton)
We sincerely thank all the authors of this book, whose efforts in writing chapters are highly appreciated. Without your contribution, the production of this book would not have been possible. We also would like to thank the Università degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi and the World Health Academy of Integrative Dermatology for supporting the development of the field of Integrative Dermatology.
We are also indebted to our families for their support during the entire time we were editing this book. We are also thankful to Wiley for providing the opportunity to bring this book to the readers. It has been a pleasure working with them in this inspiring project.
Integrative dermatology combines conventional treatments with the complementary use of botanicals, herbal medicines, and nutritional guidance, as well as mind–body interventions such as hypnosis, biofeedback therapy, and mindfulness. The question “Could modern dermatology be considered to have two distinct camps?” has been debated. These proposed camps may be conceived of thusly: on one side, a growing number of dermatologists armed with dietary advice, nutritional supplements, and psychodermatological interventions; on the other side, dermatologists providing traditional therapies such as biologics, immunosuppressants, antihistamines, and steroids. We believe that, in the future, the training of dermatologists should take an integrative approach, combining conventional and complementary treatments. Thanks to this unique book, tomorrow’s dermatologists will have the medical knowledge and necessary skills to safely practice evidence‐based integrative dermatology.
