Tonic Ayurvedic Care for Mother and Baby

TRADITIONS THAT WORK

Tools from ancient traditions have survived because they work
Rejuvenation is rapid and deep. The little used practices and of course lots of TLC create powerful prevention, naturally supporting the bond of Love. They really help with Colic, PPD, PPMD (postpartum depression or other "mood disorders") - and many other common issues. Where these practices are still alive, women don't have the many common problems we do in "modern" culture. AyurDoulas see these results also, everyday with our clients.

Care in your home and Care from a distance
Find here tonic, practical care options that can work for you. Childbearing and postnatal responsibilities naturally create depletions, dryness, emptiness, sensitivies to cold and stimulation, other qualities. Restoring balance is no mystery, though it does take skill and understanding. Daily and weekly progress is guided by knowledge from Ayurveda, the tradition of natural medicine which offers the most intact understanding and practices.

"Forty-Two Days for Forty-Two Years"*
Ancient Ayurvedic medical textbooks still guide Ayurvedic physician training today. They explain this very special 42 day window is especially valuable for Mother and Baby care. Comfort, bonding, lactation, happiness, and health are strongly impacted. Our ability to mother - and partner well and in good health is strongly influenced for decades into the future! Around the world, similar timing and traditions are found. After surgery, the 42 day window of course gets extended, by at least 2 weeks.

*Sarita Shresta, OBGyn and Ayurvedic Physician
Dr. Shrestha shared the ancient and Ayurvedic medical knowledge that for a normal healthy birth, a woman and her community should support her special needs and plan best they can for this simple but unique care for at least the 42 days "sacred window" right after birth. Give yourself extra time after surgery or other extra challenges to the body or emotions. Dr. Shrestha is honored as the leading Ayurvedic physician and teacher in Nepal and leading Ayurvedic physician and teacher in the United States, for Women's Health Care and Ayurveda issues. Modern genetic research confirms deep impact for Baby's health, even to genetic patterning in the first 10 days after birth!
